Points to be noted
- Open-Ended means you can build whatever you want and can use any technology you are familiar with, example webdev, AI/ML etc.
- Some hackathons allow cross submission, which means you can submit the same project at multiple hackathons.
- Also, be active in the discord/slack of the particular hackathon you are attending as there are various mini-events, raffles etc. are also organized which you can take part in.
