1. The DotNetNuke Hackathon is open to ANYBODY, ANYWHERE. To be eligible for the Grand Prize, an individual must submit an entry prior to the deadline of August 25, 6 p.m. Central (UTC -6)
2. In order to be eligible to win a Hackathon prize, you must follow these guidelines:
a) Hackathon Entry: Develop one or more mobile applications ("Entry") that interact with DotNetNuke during the scheduled Hackathon period.
b) Components, Plug-ins, Scripts etc.: Your modules may make use of third-party components, plug-ins, scripts, etc. as long as they have a license that permits free and unrestricted usage in both commercial and non-commercial settings. This includes MIT, BSD, GPL, LGPL, MPL etc. If in doubt, DO NOT use a component. Use of the Telerik components included with DotNetNuke is allowed as long as you use the DotNetNuke wrappers for the components. Even if you own a Telerik license yourself, you may NOT use the Telerik components directly from your code.
c) Source Code Package: For each Entry, you must submit a link to a DNN Forge project on CodePlex. You can create a DNN Forge project here: http://forge.dotnetnuke.com. This will ensure that your Entry is discoverable by the DotNetNuke Community and you can manage its future on CodePlex. Please prefix the project title with "Hackathon: " so Hackathon entries are easy to find.
d) License: Your application MUST include an MIT license (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php). You, as an individual, must be the copyright owner (i.e. copyright ownership by non-person entities is not allowed). The Installable Package must include the MIT license in the manifest so that it is displayed to the user during module installation. The Source Code Package must include a License.txt file in the root folder that contains the MIT license. You must also follow all requirements regarding display of license for any third-party components, plug-ins, scripts etc. used in your entry.
NOTE: By submitting an Entry under an MIT License, you are retaining copyright of the submitted code, but giving any individual or entity the right to use your work in any manner as long as they retain notice of your copyright. If you do not want this, do not submit an Entry.
3. In order to submit an Entry, you must send an email to hackathon@hypercrunch.com using the following guidelines:
a) Subject: The Subject of the email must contain the Title of your entry. This will be displayed in the Voting area so please keep it short but descriptive.
b) Body: The Body of the email must contain the following information:
- Required: Your first and last name
- Required: Description of your application in up to 200 words
- Required: Source code ZIP file named as follows: {FirstName}_{LastName}_{AName}.zip

4. The deadline for receiving your Entry submission is Wednesday, August 25, 2010 @ 6 p.m. U.S. Central Time. The time of submission is the receipt time recorded by our mail server. It is your responsibility that your Entry is received before the deadline.
