The format

You get three hours to build a working project using Cursor. There is no mandatory theme. Build an AI application, developer tool, consumer product, game, financial product, Solana application, or something entirely different.

The goal is to ship a functional MVP and demo it during judging. A simple project that works well beats an ambitious project that cannot be demonstrated.

Build solo or as a team. Teams can form before the event or during the networking period at the venue. Every team member must be listed in the final submission.

Rules

Read these before arriving. They’re short, and they’re enforced.

01

Building starts when the clock starts

All project-specific development must begin when the official three-hour hacking period starts. Before the event, you may:

  • Install software and SDKs, configure your environment
  • Create developer accounts and wallets, prepare API keys
  • Explore ideas
  • Use generic boilerplates, libraries, frameworks, starter templates, and UI components

You may not submit an existing product, startup, school project, or previously completed application. The submitted project must represent meaningful work completed during the official hacking period. Organizers may review GitHub history or ask how and when the project was built.

02

Use Cursor

All teams are expected to use Cursor during development. Teams competing in the Cursor Track must be prepared to show how Cursor contributed to the project through relevant chats, prompts, development history, debugging sessions, planning, or implementation work.

Don’t expose API keys, passwords, private data, or unrelated personal conversations during your presentation.

03

GitHub & submission

Every team must submit:

  • A GitHub repository, accessible to organizers and judges
  • A short project description
  • A working local or live demo
  • Names of all team members
  • The track or tracks being entered

Projects without an accessible GitHub repository will not be eligible for judging. The submission form and deadline will be shared before and during the event.

04

The three-minute demo

Each eligible project is assessed through a three-minute demo. Depending on the number of submissions, preliminary demos may run in parallel, with selected finalists invited to the main stage. Your demo should cover:

  1. The problem or opportunity
  2. Your solution
  3. The working product
  4. Important implementation details
  5. How Cursor was used, when relevant
  6. How Solana was used, when entering the Superteam Georgia Track

Prioritize showing the product working. Slides are optional. Have your project open and ready before your demo begins. Judges may ask brief follow-up questions.

05

Play it straight

Be respectful toward participants, organizers, volunteers, judges, speakers, and venue staff. Present honestly. Teams may not misrepresent unfinished functionality, previously completed work, copied work, team contributions, or how Cursor, Solana, or any other technology was used.

Organizers may disqualify a team for cheating, harassment, misconduct, dishonest presentation, or serious rule violations. All judging decisions and audience-voting results are final.

Tracks & prizes

A project may compete in more than one track when it satisfies the requirements of each.

Cursor Track

Open to all types of software projects

Projects are evaluated on:

  • Working functionality
  • Product quality and usefulness
  • Technical implementation
  • Creativity and originality
  • Effective use of Cursor
  • Demo clarity

Be ready to demonstrate how Cursor helped you plan, build, debug, or improve the project. Each individual winner will receive $100 to $200 in Cursor credits. The Cursor Track winner prize pool is capped at $1,000 in total across all winners.

100 participants will receive $30 in Cursor credits. A payment method must be added to your Cursor account to receive and use these credits.

Superteam Georgia Track

Build a Solana MVP in 3 hours · beginner-friendly, no prior Solana experience required

Build any application on Solana, such as an AI agent, payments solution, DeFi product, consumer app, game, developer tool, or something entirely new. Superteam Georgia is looking for creative ideas with a working MVP, built with Cursor and Solana Skills.

Your project should demonstrate why Solana is an important part of the solution rather than simply an add-on. Focus on shipping a functional prototype with a clear use case: in a three-hour hackathon, a simple idea executed well beats an ambitious idea that’s only partially complete.

Eligibility for this track
