Dates
November 13th to 15th, 2026.
Eligibility
Current students at USC.
Project and Submission Requirements
Submit for main prompts and challenges via the DevPost and presentations. Include a writeup, Github repository link and any other materials you feel may improve your project. Remember that all submissions must use Qiskit. Awards and certificates for all tracks (main prompts and challenges) will be given Sunday morning. Participation certificates will also be mailed out post the event.
Presentations are only for the main prompts and will be Sunday morning. Be ready to answer questions on your project and explain what you've done so far. Presentation DevPost submissions are due 8AM Sunday.
Challenges do not require presentations and we recommend spending less than two hours on them. Submissions are due 9PM Saturday.
Judging criteria
Only the judges keep the exact rubric, but the breakdown of each category and some insight into them are given in the Intro presentation in the Discord (materials channel). Advanced submissions will be graded at a higher standard than the beginner track.
