The Hackathon has two rounds:
Round 1 is an optional round and provides you an opportunity to win an additional reward of INR 25000 by being the highest scorer in the Azure fundamentals Challenge.
To be eligible to stand a chance to win the additional reward a screenshot of your final score in the Azure Fundamental challenge needs to be uploaded in Round 1.
While round 1 is optional a valid submission in round 2 is a mandate to be eligible for the additional reward.
Round 2 The objective of the Hackathon is to provide a competitive platform for professional developers to showcase their cloud expertise alongside their technical prowess by building solutions on Azure Cloud. Our team of experts will be judging you not just on your coding skills but also on different parameters like innovation, creativity, originality, usability, design, and the effectiveness of the solution.
The Hackathon is intended for Professionals who would like to showcase and build their cloud expertise.
