Judge

Professors, TAs, Virginia Tech alumni, company representatives, past hackers, and anyone else with hackathon or coding experience is welcome to apply.

Judges score projects against each category's description and a rubric. Before the event, 3 virtual training sessions and a quiz walk you through how judging works.

You'll need to be at Virginia Tech in person on Sunday, February 21st, 2027, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST. Times may still shift, and we can't provide transportation.

You can apply to more than one of judge, mentor and judge facilitator, but not if you’re registered as a hacker. We'll reach out by January 20th, 2027 to confirm, with logistics. Questions? Email hackvioletvt@gmail.com.
