# Solice Hackathon 2022 Edition
> To celebrate the summer as a community, we are sponsoring the first annual Solice Crypto Hackathon. The purpose of this event is to attract and built a diverse and talented group of contributors that exist and operate across the blockchain-metaverse space.

## Timeline
The Solice Hackathon will last all summer and is divided into three phases:

1. **Registration:** 1st August - 1st September
2. **Build + Submit:** 1st September -1st of September
3. **Announce Winners:** 3rd October

At the end of the hackathon, the winners will be selected and announced by the Solice team. The hackathon will have three tracks that a team may pick. A team may consist of one or many individuals, named or anonymous. Individuals can be part of one or many teams.

## The Tracks
The hackathon consists out of **three tracks**:

1. Development
2. Design
3. Content

Teams are allowed to pick only one track for each submission. We like to give teams space, but there are some guidelines for each track that the teams should operate within. These guidelines will be laid out below.

### Development
For the development track, teams are encourged to built something that interacts with the currently released official Solice NFT editions. These editions are the following:

* Genesis Staking Edition
* Genesis Avatar Edition
* Island 1 Land Edition

**All three editions can be found on our marketplace at [market.solice.io](https://market.solice.io).**

To give some inspiration / ideas -- but anything is welcome:
* Built a discord bot that tracks the ownership of Solice NFTs; additionally could return meta information
* Create an interface (UI or GUI) that allows the end-user to interface with the Solice NFT sets
* Create an interface that allows users to fuse or split land

### Design
For the design track, teams are encourged to pick a project within the following categories:

- 3D: models, renderings, visualization
- 2D: memes, Posters, Banners, Discord stickers

We will post the requirements for the 3D renderings soon. To get you started, they have to be created in Unity in order to be compatable with our game engine.

### Content
For the content track, we would invite any creative writers to help us expand the content of our Metaverse. Some subjects/topics that are welcomed:

- Metaverse / Island Lore(s)
- NPC Interaction / Stories / Dialoge
- In-game quests.
- In-game Music & Soundtracks

Be as creative as you can! Entire stories, guests, dialogs, characters, etc are all welcome.

## Great! How do we partcipate.
In order to partcipate, please fill in the following form and we will contact your team with further instructions after the signup phase has been closed.

**Sign-Up Form:** https://forms.gle/QrL4b8o51Q7Az1uc8

Teams are more than welcome to already start prepping and working on the project / item during the sign up phase as we cannot monitor nor discourge this. This is unfortunately, the part where the first come, first serve get an upperhand. So better get started quick!

## OK, one more question. How will be submit our work?
All submissions will either be submitted via Github (eg: code) or Google Drive in case they are assets (eg: design). Content can be submitted via either methods. More information and instructions will be posted on this as we approach the submission date.
