Final Project Submissions must include:

   • open version history by changing view permissions to "anyone can view"
2. Interactable Figma Prototype Link (NOT your figma file)
3. Link to video demo of product (max of 2 minutes)
   • This should be a walkthough of your product as opposed to a case study
   • A youtube link is preferred. However, if it is not, then ensure that the link is viewable to ANYONE
   • voiceovers are allowed, however please make sure to focus on a walkthrough of your product and showcasing its functionality, as this will primarily be judged in the first judging round

NOTE: We will have a 1 hour grace period from 8:00 - 9:00 am on Sunday for submissions that are missing one or more of the criteria above (note that this does not mean you can re-submit the final project to devpost after 8:00am) We will be contacting the discord indicated in the check-in form. All projects that fail to update links or project visibility at 9:00 am will be disqualified.
