When should we post our solution?

Please check the timeline for the period of posting your solution. But we strongly advise not to wait until the last 3 hours of submission time due to heavy Internet traffic.

How will solutions be graded?

Once the competition phase closes, your solution’s public information (e.g. for the First Round it is title and presentation) will be voted on by registered C:F users (with minimum of 50 sparks). Your full solution will also be reviewed by expert judges according to judging criteria in each round. The combination of the community votes and judges’ evaluation will define the teams that will advance to the next competition phase.

Who can comment on our submission?

Registered C:F users will be able to comment on your submission. You and your teammates can reward good comments by marking them as helpful and by this you will also receive sparks. After the voting phase ends, you will also be able to see feedback provided by the judges in your project room.
