I worked at quite a few hackathon's at my previous job. Judging always had some ulterior motive.

We'd see people walk into 48 hr hackathons at the very end and pitch their pre-built app they always took around. They could walk off with a macbook pro no problem...not bad for a few hours of work.

It's sad, but most of them seem to run this way.



No problem if the walk off with a new macbook. Yes problem if the walk off with a chance to win $100K at a national event with investors.
