Planned Lovable presentation challenge
Teams will be invited to use Lovable to create a clear, standalone website that explains the problem, their approach, results and the most useful lessons they learned. The purpose is to make strong competition work understandable and reusable by the wider community.
Judging criteria, submission instructions and the deadline will be announced before the competition.
Summer opportunities
The top team in the University Division receives a summer job at Íslandsbanki. We aim to offer summer jobs for winners at additional companies.
