Lights, Camera, Action! Submission video tips for hackers

We know as devs and innovators, your focus is normally on the project being built, but the submission video needs time and care too! It's often the first (and sometimes only!) thing that judges review. Your video tells the story behind your project, providing a clear avenue to showcase your software and talent.

Prep your 3 minute elevator pitch and don’t forget to include:

  • how you built your new RAG applicating using Cortex Search, Mistral LLM and Streamlit Community Cloud.
  • why you built your project and the problem it addresses
  • (Optional) If you used TruLens be sure to highlight your comparison, experiments, and metrics within your submission video 
  • Show it in action! Demo your project in a way that shows judges how real-world users will interact and benefit from it

Time-saving Tip: Write out your script and practice it before you record to ensure you cover everything in the time limit

Pro(crastinator) Tip: We CANNOT stress this enough: Don't wait until the last minute to upload your video! Due to file size, format, and your Internet connection, uploading a video to Facebook Video, YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours 

There are just 4 days left to enter your submission to the RAG ‘n’ ROLL Amp up Search with Snowflake & Mistral hackathon.
