Whackathon: The Local Track of the Bonkathon

The Bonkathon is an on-chain primitive for DAOs and community-run hackathons. Beginning with one per year, it serves as a prototype for on-chain communities to host their own hackathons, regardless of scale, capital capacity, or size. To participate, create a profile on Align, sign up for the Bonkathon, and start or join a team via Discord.

This local track is run by Superteam Philippines. Anyone from the Philippines who is submitting to the global Bonkathon can apply.

This listing is a local track, meaning this is a separate prize pool from the Bonkathon website. This means that if you are a team based in the Philippines, and you were assisted, mentored and guided by Superteam Philippines, you still have chances of winning; even if you don't win at the global hackathon - you still have a shot at winning something on the national level!

Eligibility 

1. You must register for the hackathon on the tinyurl.com/bonkathonsignup and include “PHILIPPINES” as your country in it

2. You must submit to the Global Bonkathon hackathon and add "PHILIPPINES" as your country

3. Your project must be eligible as per the Bonkathon.

IMPORTANT:
The Project must be submitted to the Bonkathon portal and as well as on Superteam Earn. 

Judging Criteria

The judging criteria for the Whackathon: Bonkathon Local Track will mirror that of the global hackathon. This means the following criteria will be considered: product functionality, potential impact, novelty, UX, whether or not open-sourced, and business plan.
