One week to go – the deadline is almost here!
Time’s almost up - there’s only one week left to the Hack to the Future 3: Build an Unbiased Fintech Future hackathon deadline.
Ask Questions

Or better still, join us for a live Office Hour session where we have a great lineup of experts to answer questions on the hackathon, judging processes, FusionFabric.cloud platform and APIs, technology, fintech and more.

Start your submission now
Starting a submission is a good way to make sure that your project meets the requirements. There’s nothing worse than getting to the deadline, only to realize that you’re missing a key component. Remember: once you submit a project, you can keep editing it as needed at any time prior to the submission deadline. Need a primer on how the submission form works? Head over to our submission form tutorial.
Prepare your pitch video
Don’t forget: your submission must include a video showing your submission. Too often, participants leave this video to the last minute without realizing that it’s an important way to showcase your work for the judges. If you need some help getting started, check out our video-making tips or join the dedicated live meetup on 1 Apr – Crafting your pitch. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/141946354367 !
Pro Tip: Don't wait until the last minute to upload your video. Due to file size, format, and your Internet connection, uploading a video to Facebook Video, YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. We cannot stress this enough! There have been many times a submission becomes ineligible due to errors with video rendering and uploading.
