To be eligible to win a Prize in the Hackathon, the team must develop a software application or platform that meets the design requirements of at least one of Comcast NBCUniversal’s Business Partner Challenges. The hack does not need to be fully functional, but must work or play to some understandable degree at the time presented to judges. Access to content and APIs will be provided by NBCU’s Business and Technology Partners, including Universal Pictures, Telemundo, Fandango, and SyFy’s Battlestar Galactica.
