Unfortunately, the judges for the major collegiate hackathons are usually almost all from technical backgrounds, but they're representatives from companies looking to hire, and they're told to judge by factoring in entrepreneurial value. |

Jeff Dean was a judge at TreeHacks but some of the top prizes where shitty hacks (App to wake up or something). Most of the prized hacks were really impressive though and involved a lot of engineering. I was really excited about that.
Same feeling at Hack the North (Waterloo) some shitty Airbnb for X but overall some really impressive and cool hacks. Speaks volume for the engineering culture at both Universities.
