⛷️ 1 Week Until the Finish Line!
⏳ There is just one week left to enter your submission to the Team USA x Google Cloud Hackathon. Submissions are due May 11, 2026, at 5pm PT.
Whether you’ve been carving a perfect line since day one or you’re planning a high-speed sprint to the finish, the deadline is approaching fast! To avoid a wipeout, check out our submission checklist, ensure your teammates have accepted their invitations, and stay on track to submit before the deadline!
📝 Submission Checklist: *Is Your Project Ready for the judges? Are you submitting a working software application created using the Gemini API and is your Project deployed on Google Cloud Services? Does it solve one of the four specific Team USA challenges (or your own custom fan-centric solution)?
-
Pick Your Event: Did you select one of the 5 Challenges your project falls into on the submission form?
-
Team: Are all of your teammates added to your submission form? Remind them to accept their invitations!
-
The Demo Video: Have you created a less than 3-minute demo video? Is it unlisted, coherent, and does it show your app in action? Warning: Any footage over three minutes may not be viewed by the judges!
-
Public Code Repo: Did you provide a link to your public code repository?
-
Apache 2.0 License: Did you include an Apache 2.0 Open Source license in your repository? (This is a must-have to stay in the running!)
-
-
Published Project (highly encouraged): Does your submission include a link to your working Project for the judges to test. Is it deployed on Google Cloud?
Be sure to read through the Official Rules more than once. Better yet, have a teammate provide a second pair of eyes to make sure you didn't miss a gate.
Good luck, Team! Vibe code for gold!
