As per official rules, we have to submit following 4 deliverables:

1. URL to working Demo

2. Detailed description of project

3. URL for video on LinkedIn

4. URL for post on Redit Databricks

When I try to submit the solution, I get option to only put LinkedIn URL.

There is no option to submit any other deliverable as shown below:

After click on submit, it says thank you for your submission.

How to provide other deliverables?

Hey @DataBeli , yeah I agree that it is a bit confusing. I did some digging and found a bit more information that I think will help you.  Give it a read and let me know if it helps.

Thanks for flagging this. Hereโ€™s how the hackathon wants submissions to work and what to do if you only see a LinkedIn-only field.
 

What the hackathon requires

  • Include a project built with Free Edition and provide access to a working demo or test build (URL).
  • Add a detailed text description explaining the features and functionality of your project.
  • Provide links to your fiveโ€‘minute demo that is posted publicly on both LinkedIn and the Databricks Subreddit (include both URLs).
  • Ensure the video is no longer than five minutes and shows the project functioning; the links you submit must be publicly accessible to judges.

Where and how to submit everything

  • Submissions are entered on the Hackathon Websiteโ€™s โ€œTeam & Submissionโ€ tab; you need to complete all required fields there during the Submission Period.
  • The main hackathon webpage also includes a registration form (first name, company email, etc.). That page registers you, but itโ€™s not the final โ€œTeam & Submissionโ€ form where you paste all deliverables.

If youโ€™re only seeing a LinkedInโ€‘only field

  • Youโ€™re likely on the registration or a share prompt, not the full โ€œTeam & Submissionโ€ form. Navigate to the Free Edition Hackathon webpage and look for the โ€œTeam & Submissionโ€ tab to enter the demo URL, description, LinkedIn video URL, and Reddit URL together.
  • If the โ€œTeam & Submissionโ€ tab isnโ€™t visible or the form still only asks for LinkedIn, request a rules clarification via email: trang.le@databricks.com (this is the official channel for clarifications).
  • You can also post in the Databricks Community group for hackathon helpโ€”the group is staffed during the submission window.
  • Note that Stage One judging will check that both your LinkedIn and Reddit URLs work and that your demo/test build is accessible; if you only submit LinkedIn, it wonโ€™t meet the pass/fail criteria.

Troubleshooting tips

  • Confirm youโ€™ve completed the initial registration; then log back into the hackathon site and open โ€œTeam & Submission.โ€
  • Try a different browser, clear cache/cookies, or use an incognito window in case the form UI is being blocked by an extension.
  • If you submitted LinkedIn only and got a โ€œthank youโ€ message, reโ€‘open the site and look for a draft/portfolio entry to edit before the Submission Period ends (the rules allow saving drafts and updating prior to final submission).
 
Cheers, Louis.
