We’re incredibly excited to announce the full sponsor bounties! As we touched upon in the judging guidelines, all project submissions and voting will be done through DAOs. This is a new process, so please make sure you read the judging guidelines carefully before you start digging into the bounties.
Submitting your project can take up to 30 minutes if you aren’t familiar with the platform, so please begin submitting your project at least 1 hour before the deadline to ensure you have time to connect with the ETHDenver team in case you have any questions about the submission process. Please remember: you will need to submit it multiple times — once for the Open or Impact track and again for the Advance Colorado Track and each bounty you incorporated.
You can see all DAOs and bounties here or scroll down to go to sponsor-specific bounties directly. Each bounty is a Competition within the DAO so submit to it directly on Sunday.
On to the bounties!
