2. Rules

Where 'the challenge owner' refers to Global Creative Hub

2.1

Prior to joining DigiEduHack, you as a participant should pick one and only one challenge. Considering that you join DigiEduHack x Global Creative Hub - Pakistan, you must be aged 15-24 and living in Pakistan at the time of the hack. Please only join the event if you agree to take part actively in all of the activities (teamwork, workshops, etc) organized from 9-10th November.

By partaking in this event you consent to the use of images or recordings of you during the event, or other contributions you might make during the Event for the purpose of publicity. If you wish to opt out please send an email to globalcreativehubpk@gmail.com 

2.2

Your solution should be co-created with your assigned team and finalized during the event. It's allowed to join with draft ideas but not allowed to join with a ready-made, ready-to-be-rolled-out solution. You can get inspiration from existing solutions but plagiarism, copy, and/or any other form of treachery or deception are totally forbidden. You can use open source resources if you clearly attribute the sampled part(s) to their original creator(s) and if the sampled part(s) is a minor component of your solution.

2.3

DigiEduHack is a multilevel hackathon, in the Pakistan challenge, a panel of judges after evaluating all team pitches will select one winning solution and one runner-up. The winning solution (NOT the runner-up) will enter the global competition where the DigiEduHack steering group chooses 10 to 12 finalists based on the criteria available here. These 10 to 12 finalist solutions are uploaded on the United Nations' Unite Ideas platform to be submitted to a public vote. The three solutions that gather the most votes are declared global winners.

2.4

At the end of the event you are taking part in, follow and respect your challenge owner's instructions on when to stop working on your solution and on where, how, and when your solution will be assessed: pay especially attention to mandatory pitching/demo sessions and upload requirements. You had no time to finish? No worries: notify it during your pitch/demo/upload in the description of your project.  All the solutions created during DigiEduHack 2021 should be uploaded on digieduhack.com. Solutions uploaded to digieduhack.com are made public under the DigiEduHack intellectual property guidelines.

2.5

To be eligible for presenting your solution to the judges, you will be required to upload your solution on the website. Your challenge owner will further guide you on all the steps.

Only ONE team member should upload the team's solution on digieduhack.com, and only ONE solution per team should be uploaded. A team can only upload a solution for a challenge they are registered for and actually took part in. Before starting the upload process, please check the solution upload guidelines. To upload your solution digieduhack.com: login, go to "upload your solution" and follow the steps.

2.6

Participants or teams can be disqualified and excluded from DigiEduHack for breaking one of the aforementioned rules/preliminary statements. If a single participant in a team breaks a rule, the participant will be excluded from their team and from DigiEduHack. The rest of the team can keep taking part in DigiEduHack. If a team as a whole breaks a rule, they will be excluded from DigiEduHack. The challenge owner decides in full discretion on exclusions for their own event. The DigiEduHack central team decides in full discretion on exclusions for the global competition. Exclusions are definitive. Solutions that break the rules will be disqualified. If a winning solution is disqualified, the challenge owner will organize a second deliberation and announce a new winner. If a finalist solution or a global winning solution is disqualified, the Steering group as a whole or in a smaller quorum will assess a new finalist solution, and a new public vote will take place.

2.7
