How the route works

HoustonHacks2026 does not publish a multi-round screening funnel. The path is direct: register for the hackathon through its Devpost listing, build your project, and submit it before the 31 December 2026 deadline.

How entries are judged

Submissions are assessed on three criteria:

  • Creativity — how original and interesting the concept is.
  • Technical execution — how well the project is built and how completely it works.
  • Impact — the difference the project could make for its users or its problem space.

The winning entry or entries take the $150 prize pool.
