THE RULES
I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
Hack Week is a week-long employee-only Hackathon that gives you the chance to enrich our products and internal tools with your own original and innovative features. By devoting a full week to the creation process, you can focus on taking your ideas from the drawing board to reality. We'll take care of the food, drinks and great atmosphere (oh, and sleeping bags). All you have to bring is your passion and drive to succeed.

IT HAS TO WORK
You have to build something complete and present it in working form. It can be anything, as long as it relates to a Wix product or our company. It can be an additional feature, or a tool to help your day-to-day job. Virtually any idea is welcome.
CODING
Projects can be built using any platform, language or tools. You can use APIs, open source libraries,
sprites, wire frames and any design element you want.
START FROM SCRATCH
You can’t start working on your features before the Hackathon begins. This includes any type
of digital mockup, database entity diagram or production asset.
TEAMS
Teams must be made up of 1-6 employees. Up to 4 developers are allowed on each team.
To register, each team needs to open a Pulse under the Hack Week 2015 Teams board and add all members. We highly encourage (hint: bonus points…) that you diversify your team with people from different companies and groups. Throughout the week, promote your project by keeping everyone in the loop on your progress.
PRESENTATION
You’ll present your project to the company and judges at a live demo on Tuesday, December 22.
WINNERS
3 winners will be selected by the judges from each of the categories.
1 audience favorite will be chosen by Wix employees.
JUDGING CRITERIA
COMPLETNESS
Whatever it is, it has to work. Can we start using it or open it to users now?
VALUE

UX
How good does the product look? How easy is it to use?
How innovative is your idea?
INNOVATION
TEAM PULSE
