Field notes
The site lays out a repeatable sequence from theme announcement through submission and judging, using Git actions as labels for the stages. Projects can use any language, framework, or tools, while the event-specific rubric is published with the theme. The homepage also offers sponsors three concrete ways to participate: fund prizes, donate API credits, or send engineers to judge and mentor.
