"Second through fifth prizes may be awarded their prize (in the case of teams, to the team leader) in the form of one or more gift cards."

Do they plan on telling people what the gift cards could be for or are they going to wait until teams have worked on their submission for several weeks?

I've won gift cards before by presenting at Dreamforce. They were for globalgiving.org, an awesome non-profit that allows you to donate to another non-profit of your choice.
"Second prize is a set of steak knives."

"Third prize is you're fired."

From the discussion board: Winners will receive American Express gift cards payable in US Dollars.
Congratulations! You've just won a $50,000 gift certificate for SalesForce!
Sweet! I can afford signing up for the hackathon.
