Open to employees of Esri, Esri International Distributors, and Esri partners.

Esri employees are required to have their manager’s approval to participate. There are specific charge codes for this event.

Participants must be able to appear in-person at Esri headquarters, an Esri R&D center, or via Skype. There is no travel for this event. Participants are expected to work from their regular office.

Participants can form teams of up to 6 individuals.

Teams must declare participation by the Team Entry Deadline (Friday, January 10, 2020, at 11:00 AM PST) with a project entry in Devpost submitted to this hackathon. All final projects are due in Devpost by 2:00 PM PST (22:00 GMT) Monday, January 13, 2020.

All projects submitted must use the ArcGIS platform APIs in some way. Projects submitted that do not use ArcGIS developer technology are not eligible for judging and prizes.

Your complete Devpost project must be submitted to Hack the Map 4 hackathon on or before the submission deadline. All submissions must include: title, project thumbnail image, elevator pitch (short description), technology used, link to public github repository, all contributing team members, project description, screenshots. Video is optional unless it is the means to present your project for the final presentation.

All code must be made available in a public Github repository and available for the judges and event organizers to access.

The submitted solution must build and run in a standalone app on a Linux, PC, or Mac computer, mobile device, or in a simulator running on a PC or Mac computer.

All submissions must use only publicly released APIs, SDKs, software, and services. Since the submissions are made to public github repositories, and our ultimate goal is to show your project off on a public facing website, we cannot accept submissions that use proprietary or internally available non-public components. Beta software is OK to use as long as members of the public can get access to it.

All submitting teams must be able to perform a 5-minute presentation of their solution. Teams may present in-person, via videoconference, or by submitting a video of their presentation. When presenting in-person at least one team representative must be on site during the presentation period at the specific time requested. When presenting via video conference at least one team representative must be online during the presentation period at the specific time requested. When submitting a video the video must be submitted with the project by the submission deadline.

If additional hardware is required it is the team's responsibility to make it available to the judges during the judging period.

If you are an Esri employee, Esri maintains full rights to the resulting project and maintains the right to continue further development of the idea.

If you are an Esri employee, Esri maintains ownership of all code, designs, and all components of each project submission worked on as part of this event.

Esri will have the right to include the project on its website, marketing material, outreach opportunities, or other method.
