💡 Tip: Use this dropdown to get help from AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude.

Step-by-step guide for judges participating in in-person (offline) hackathons using Devfolio’s judging dashboard.

Receive Access Email
Judges will receive an email once they are added by organizers to the judging dashboard. The judging view will be accessible at:
devfolio.co/judging/<hackathon-slug>

Start Judging
Use the search bar to find a project by typing in the team name, builder name, or email address.

Score Projects
Enter scores based on the judging criteria. Judges can revisit and update scores any time before judging concludes.

Drop Notes
Leave notes while judging to help finalize the winners after evaluations are complete.

Judging Completion Requirement

All projects must be judged by at least the minimum number of judges set by organizers. If a project doesn’t meet this requirement, it will be marked as partially judged. These can be resolved on-ground with the help of Devfolio staff.
