• I also do the hackathons. Most hackathons are designed to require a two-minute pitch so you quickly get a sense of what may be good and what is probably not that great. 2 minutes is under the 5 minutes it takes to read one page for a Mindsumo challenge for example.

    The amount of work to submit a competitive entry is indeed a barrier. Most hackathons require 18-36 hours of straight coding (no sleep and take your food back to your computer) which again is well over a Mindsumo. A hackathon is your entire weekend, so if you do them, you probably love to code anyway.

    There are also so many tech competitions that if anything, they have trouble finding people to enter them. The number of artists is comparatively higher.
