2. You acknowledge that AI or AI tools (including but not limited to Figma Make) have not been solely used to create or design any aspect of your submission. All work is entirely your own and if required, you can provide proof of your design process.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS

🚨 All projects will automatically be part of Track 3 in Catalyst 2026.

• Winning projects will be entered into the Project Auction as part of the Product-thon Closing Ceremony, where teams from Catalyst will be bidding (using points, not money) for their favourite project.
• If they are unsuccessful in a bid, they will choose from the remaining projects from Product-thon (that are not included in the Auction) to develop in Catalyst.

🚨 Product-thon teams are allowed to opt out of their project being part of Catalyst.

• This will not affect your team’s eligibility to compete for a prize in Product-thon. Opting out only means that your project will not be used in Track 3 of Catalyst.
• By opting in, you and your team are not automatically participating in Catalyst 2026. You are welcome to participate in Catalyst if you like, but you will have to purchase a separate ticket.

🚨 For teams who want to participate in BOTH Product-thon and Catalyst:

• You can choose to stick with your own project from Product-thon to develop for Track 3 in Catalyst, OR choose to bid for a different winning project from Product-thon instead.
• Please ensure you have purchased tickets for BOTH hackathons! </aside>

Submission Requirements

As part of your team’s submission, please provide ALL of the following:

1. One Devpost submission with:
   • A link to your Figma prototype
   • A brief description of your project
2. One zip file uploaded to the Google Drive Folder with:
   • A downloaded version of your Figma file
   • [Optional] You may include your team’s presentation slides in the zip file
   • Please title your file as TeamName-TrackProduct.zip (e.g. FamJam-Track3.zip)
