Let's talk about the prizes...

A total of $1 million in cash prizes will be awarded for GlobalHack VI. $750,000 of the total will be spent on award winners, and $250,000 will be reserved for project implementation. Prizes will be awarded to the top five teams in the following divisions: Youth, College, and Pro. From the three (3) first place teams in each category, an additional $150,000 Grand Prize will be awarded to the highest scoring team.

Best Team Spirit Prize

A prize of $2,500 will be awarded to the team that displays the Best Team Spirit. Team costumes or uniforms, posts to GlobalHack Facebook and Twitter accounts, and offering to help beginner teams are all fantastic ways to win points in this category.

Follow-On Funding Pool

$250,000 in follow-on grants will be set aside for individuals or teams who would like to work on implementing the top prototypes built at GlobalHack VI. We will have more information about this process closer to the event.
