• Originality
  Is the hack more than just another generic social/mobile/local app? Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem? This is the most important criterion that the hack will be judged upon.
• Usefulness
  Is the hack practical? Is it something people would actually use? Does it fulfill a real need people have? The likelihood of generating revenue from the hack, however, should not be considered.
• Technical difficulty
  Regardless of programming experience, did the participants challenge themselves technically? Is the hack impressive when considering the time constraints, and their existing level of programming experience?
• Polish
  Is the hack usable in its current state? Is the user experience smooth? Does everything appear to work? Is it well designed?
