Submission video tips for PartyRock Virtuosos
Hey PartyRock Virtuosos,
We know as devs and innovators, your expertise normally lies behind the scenes, but the (optional, but recommended) submission video needs time and care, too! It's often the first thing that judges review. Your video can tell the story behind your project and provide a clear avenue to showcase your talent and, most importantly, your application.
Prep a quick script so you know what you’re going to say and don’t forget to include:
- how your project meets the hackathon requirements and judging criteria
- tools you used in addition to PartyRock (if any)
- problem your project addresses
- solution your project addresses
Demo your project in a way that shows judges how real-world users will interact and benefit from it
Time-saving Tip
Practice your script before you record to ensure you cover everything in the time limit (~90 seconds!)
Pro(crastinator) Tip
- We CANNOT stress this enough: Don't wait until the last minute to upload your video! Due to file size, format, and your Internet connection, uploading a video to Facebook Video, YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours
- Fill in the rest of your submission ahead of time so you’re not scrambling just before the deadline. NO changes can be made after the clock strikes midnight (or 5pm PDT in this case), or you’ll turn into a pumpkin!
