Most hackathons are about coming up with innovative new ideas and making plausible startup prototypes. This one is different. This one is about having fun and programming for the sake of programming, even if it means reinventing a less efficient wheel. This one is about making the funniest hacks, even if they are downright dumb.

• Security - Darker Than Snowden’s Black Hat
  So bone-chillingly horrific, it can be exploited in more ways than Silverlight. Show us the countless ways this can be exploited and we will be content.
• Design
  Show us your worst. Nuff said.
• Efficiency
  Hardest possible way to do something stupidly easy. Write hello world in Python? C? Assembly? Binary? Morse code? Surprise us.
• Dankness -- Jet fuel can’t melt dank memes
  Prove to us that your memes are so dank that not even jet fuel can melt em’. Huge bonus points for creativity and thoughtfulness.
• Jos Louis CK -- Funniest Pitch
  The group that ensues the largest amount of hilarity during their pitch gets the Jos Louis CK award. Sorry, no Jo Louis for you though.
• #include <organizers.h>
  Best usage of a hack involving the organizers of the event. We got da blue velocity bands on our neck, you can't miss us.
• What a CATastrophe
  Best usage of a hack involving cats somehow.
• Hacking HARD of HARDly hacking
  Hack HARD on a piece of hardware that Elon Musk would scoff at. In fact, if he saw this, he would probably spontaneously combust.
