Open to university students, professional developers, and tech enthusiasts. Teams must consist of 1 to 4 members (solo entries accepted). Multiple team registrations by a single participant are disqualified.
Original Coding Requirements
All code built during the hackathon must be original and created within the designated coding period. Using pre-built open-source frameworks or components is permitted. Copying complete solutions, using AI to generate entire systems, or submitting previously developed projects are strictly prohibited.
Submission Deliverables
Teams must submit by the deadline: ① Working prototype (demo URL or screenshots). ② Live demo URL (recommended). ③ Short demo video (max 3 minutes). ④ Public GitHub repository (strongly encouraged). ⑤ Presentation slides (recommended).
Intellectual Property
All teams retain full ownership of intellectual property created during the hackathon. Softlexify National Hackathon 2026 (Edition 1) / SoftlexifyZone does not claim ownership of participant ideas, code, or project products. You build it — you own it.

AI Tool Policy
AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT for code assistance) are permitted for productivity support. However, all core architectural decisions, system design, and business logic must be your team's own original work. Full AI-generated projects will be disqualified.
