- What problem does your project solve?
- Which track does it belong to?
- What agentic workflow(s) did you implement?
- How does it use Mel and/or ElevenLabs?

4. Demo Video or Walkthrough
- Highly recommended: A 2–5 minute video showing your project working live
- Can be a screen recording or smartphone video of your live demo
- Include narration explaining the workflow and results
- Upload to YouTube/Vimeo and embed, OR show live during the final judging round
5. Codebase/GitHub Link
- Public GitHub repository with your source code
- Include a README with setup/installation instructions
- Document any APIs, keys, or external dependencies needed
6. Live Demo (Judging Round)
- Be prepared to show your project live and working during the presentation

7. Team Members
- List all team members and their contributions

Submission Quality Tips
- Test everything beforehand. Your live demo is crucial to your score.
- Show the agent in action. Judges want to see tool use, decision-making, and output quality.
- Explain the problem. Why does this matter? Who would use it?
- Document your process. Share learnings, challenges, and how you overcame them in your description.
- Use ElevenLabs or Mel creatively. If you use either tool, highlight it prominently—there's a separate prize for best use of ElevenLabs.
