Subject: EthnoHack 2026: Clarification on my eligibility (registered after Oct 31)
Dear EthnoHack Hackathon Manager,
I hope you are well. My name is Shahariar, and my Devpost username is shahriar-sharif406. I am a student and I registered for EthnoHack 2026 on Devpost after the October 31 registration deadline.
After registering, I received an email saying that, because the registration deadline has passed, I will not be eligible for judging or prizes. However, my Devpost page still shows me as registered, and I keep receiving Devpost reminders about the submission deadline (November 8). I would like to understand my status clearly, so I have a few questions:
1. Am I allowed to submit a project and be judged, or is my late registration final and not eligible?
2. If I am not eligible for prizes, can I still submit a project for participation or feedback?
3. I currently do not have a team. If late registrants cannot be judged, could you let me know whether a late registrant can at least join an already-registered team, or whether a team member must have registered before October 31?
4. Are there any exceptions to the deadline for students, or any form I could fill in to request one?
I am very interested in this hackathon and have started planning a project, so a clear answer would help me decide how to use the remaining time. Thank you very much for your time and for organising this event.
Best regards,
Shahariar

Hello,
Thanks for your message. The email about late registration is final.
1. Your projects isn't eligible to be judged and for the prizes
2. Devpost lets you submit a project but it won't be visible in the project gallery and won't be looked by the judges.
3. To join a team you have to have registered within the given deadline.
4. We gave an exception the fist two days but that extension has also closed.
