Weirdest and Craziest Hack - Each team member gets a year's worth of ramen! Yes, really.

Workshop Winners (3) - Workshop winners that don't qualify for other prizes can get prizes such as speakers, echo dots, and door dash credit! Given to 3 winning teams.

Pinnacle Qualification - Best Hack - The top winning team gets an all expenses trip to Pinnacle, the ultimate hackathon where you'll meet some serious hackers and participate in the olympics of coding :P

Most Daring and Niche Project - Win your age in pounds of slime! (i.e., if you're 16, you'll win 16 pounds of slime -- we can converse afterwards on specs). This is for the craziest and most useless/useful (!?) hack :)
