"Decentralize everything and break down the silos between different blockchains" is the original intention of Polkadot, and it is also the vision that drives and promotes the development and implementation of Web3. In 2023, the Polkadot ecosystem has achieved significant results in both ecological development and technological innovation. The number of active developers in the Polkadot ecosystem is leading by a large margin, with over 500 projects signed under the W3F Grant program, covering every layer of the Polkadot technology stack. We also look forward to helping and supporting the growth of more startup teams, which is why we are organizing the Polkadot Hackathon 2023 Winter and offering over 300,000 USD in generous prizes to participants, the prize will be awarded in DOT.
The Polkadot Hackathon 2023 Winter is the annual event in the Polkadot ecosystem. This hackathon will bring together investors, developers, Web3 projects, media professionals, and other members of society to jointly explore the next steps of Web3 and continue to promote progress and development in the industry.

Event Details
Explain the list of contents to be submitted for the preliminary review and the list of contents that must be submitted for the Demo Day.
1.For the initial review, you need to submit the code to GitHub https://github.com/parity-asia/hackathon-2023-summer. The submitted content includes source code, design documents, and project introduction.
2.Do not upload the Demo video to Github. You can add the link address to Readme.
3.Do not upload project-related PowerPoints that are too large. You can add the link address to the Readme.
Submission deadline: 12:00 AM on December 22 UTC+8
Parity has provided excellent submission cases on GitHub in the past: https://github.com/parity-asia/hackathon-2022-winter/tree/main/teams/01-RedStone_Network
Github submission includes competition questions
1.Teams can choose competition topics but can choose multiple topics. There is no strict distinction in Github.
2.Projects can choose to compete on multiple tracks. The preliminary review will determine whether they can participate in a single track based on the functions implemented by the project.
Demo upload problem: The demo video is uploaded to YouTube, the PowePoints link is uploaded to Google Drive, and the YouTube link and Google Drive link are submitted to GitHub.
Judging Criteria
All entries will be scored along the following six dimensions:
Preliminary review 50%: (technical dimension) 1.Technical difficulty (20%): The problem solved has a certain technical threshold and there is a certain breakthrough at the technical level;
2.Project completion (20%): The project is fully realized, not just the concept, and the Demo/POC display is complete;
3.Standardization (10%): The project is submitted within the specified time and the content is standardized.
The preliminary review will mainly review the project's code submission, new features, test improvements, inheritance, deployment, etc. during the hackathon. Submitting a project with a clear history will help the reviewers understand the actual development work of the project.
Final 50%: (Business Dimension) 1.Commercial value (20%): Can solve problems and be used in industry scenarios you know;
2.Innovation (20%): novel ideas, breakthroughs, breaking conventional thinking;
3.User experience (10%): including how intuitive and understandable the submitted solution is to potential users.
The team participating in the demo is determined by the score of the technical preliminary review. After the demo is completed, the review can be adjusted based on the situation of the demo and the actual developed functions.
