I think this article pretty much sums up why I don't like the concept of winning a Hackathon. This seems more like a startup competition, rather than a hackathon. Seems less about the hacking, and more about the "let's throw an idea on a template webpage and get some sign ups for traction." If that's what it takes to win a hackathon, no thanks.

"Seems less about the hacking, and more about the "let's throw an idea on a template webpage and get some sign ups for traction." tend to agree. I like to think there is always a bit of broken open-source code that needs some attention. Choose the right one and you will get more kudos and appreciation than a hackathon.
