Hi Lachezar,

We will not limit contestants to a specific topic or theme. You can decide whether your application will be business oriented, or focus on a social challenge. At Telerik Hackathon, we will be looking for a functional mobile app using Telerik Platform that showcases best-in-class user experience, originality and utility.

Looking forward to seeing you at the event.

Hi Cris,

So far there are many people who have registered as individuals and not teams. You can use the current forum thread or our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Telerik to look for team members.

The event hashtag is #TelerikHack

See you in Sofia in less than a week!

We're excited at Telerik to host all app developers this coming weekend. To add to the fun of the event we'll be hosting games on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we'll be playing Hide-and-Tweet. We'll be hiding colored tickets throughout Telerik Academy. Look out for white, green and one black ticket. The finder of the black ticket will win a GoPro Hero camera! See the rules for this game below. Sunday we'll be engaging you with our Selfie game. We hope you're as excited as we are. See you all this weekend!


Telerik “Hide-and-Tweet” Scavenger Hunt Official Rules


By participating in Telerik’s
“Hide-and-Tweet” Scavenger Hunt you agree to comply with these official rules, which are a binding contract between you and the Sponsor (as defined below). Without limitation, this contract includes indemnities to the Sponsor from you
and a limitation of your rights and remedies. This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Twitter, Inc. 

DESCRIPTION:  The “Hide-and-Tweet” Scavenger Hunt (this “Scavenger Hunt”) begins on October 18, 2014 at 10:00 am (EET) and ends (a) when all prizes have been redeemed by the ticket finders and/or (b) October 18, 2014 at 10:00
pm (EET) (the “Scavenger Hunt Period”) whether or not all tickets have been discovered. Twenty-one (21) tickets will be hidden throughout the Telerik Hackathon event location and dispersed through the three floors to be found by participants. Each ticket will need to be taken to the “Social Media Station” where prizes will be given to the ticket finders. Each ticket has a different prize to be awarded with it (T-shirt or other Telerik branded gear). During the
Scavenger Hunt Period, Telerik AD (the “Sponsor”) shall post on its Twitter page various messages about the Scavenger Hunt, including clues as to where the prizes can be found (the “Clues”). Participant to find a ticket
prize in a location shall be deemed a winner (“Winner”) of such prize. The winner will need to post a photo on their Twitter Page in order to take the prize with them.

As a condition of participating in this Scavenger Hunt (except where prohibited by law), each participant unconditionally accepts and agrees (A) to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, including the interpretation of these Official Rules by Sponsor and Sponsor’s decisions in all matters relating to this Scavenger Hunt, which shall be final and binding in all respects and (B) not to damage or cause interruption of this Scavenger Hunt and/or prevent others from participating in this Scavenger Hunt. Whether a Winner receives a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

(e.g. spouse, partner, mother, father, legal guardian, in-laws, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister, children or grandchildren) and household members of such individuals, are ineligible to participate in this Scavenger Hunt or win a prize.  “Immediate family members” shall mean parents, step-parents, grandparents, legal guardians, children, step-children, grandchildren, siblings, step-siblings, spouses or in-laws.  “Household members” shall mean those people who share the same residence at least three months in a year. All state and local laws and regulations apply.

GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS:  All details and other restrictions of prizes not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Prizes cannot be assigned, transferred, or changed except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. No substitution, transfer or cash equivalent of a prize or any portion thereof permitted, except by Sponsor in its sole discretion, in which case a prize of equal or greater value (or cash equivalent, in Sponsor’s sole discretion) may be awarded. In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy or inconsistency between
disclosures or other statements contained in any Scavenger Hunt promotional materials and the terms and conditions of these Official Rules, such alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy or inconsistency will be resolved in Sponsor’s
sole discretion. The Winner shall be solely responsible for compliance with all state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. If a potential Winner is considered a minor in his or her state of residence, at Sponsor’s option, the applicable prize either will be awarded in the name of the parent or legal guardian of the potential Winner.

UNAWARDED PRIZES:  If a ticket prize is not found or otherwise awarded to an eligible participant during the Scavenger Hunt Period, or if such eligible participant has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for
any reason prior to award, such potential winner will be disqualified and such prize may go un-awarded. In addition, if any potential winner does not accept or use such potential winner’s entire prize, the unaccepted or unused portion
of such prize will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation under this Scavenger Hunt with respect to such prize or the portion thereof.  No post-prize consideration (payment to redeem or obtain the prize) is required.

Sponsor, this Scavenger Hunt (or any portion thereof) becomes compromised in any way, Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, modify or suspend this Scavenger Hunt, (or any portion thereof), including selecting Winners from among all
non-suspect eligible participants.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  In the event that any provision is determined to
be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. 
Sponsor’s failure to (or decision not to) enforce any provision in these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision.  CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DAMAGE ANY ONLINE SERVICE OR WEBSITE
OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATIONS OF THIS Scavenger Hunt MAY VIOLATE
CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS.  IF SUCH AN ATTEMPT IS MADE, SPONSOR MAY
