Need Help?

Our team will be on-site throughout the day to support you. You can also reach us through the Devpost platform or find us at the event. Don't hesitate to ask — that's what we're here for.

We'll see you on September 12th. Now go build something amazing. 🧵✨

• Vonage API Integration
  Meaningful use of a Vonage API, such as Video, Voice, Messages, or RCS. The integration should be core to the project rather than added as an afterthought. Strong use of more than one API is a plus
• Creativity & Fashion Theme Fit
  Originality of the idea and how clearly it connects to the fashion theme. The project should feel relevant and memorable at a fashion-tech event.
• Functionality & Completeness
  Whether the demo works and whether the project feels reasonably complete given the approximately two-hour build window.
• Presentation & Demo
  A clear pitch that explains the problem, what the team built, and how it works. A non-technical audience should be able to follow the demo.
• AI / Gemini Use
  Thoughtful Gemini or AI integration. This category is optional; teams that skip AI should score low here but should not be penalized elsewhere.
