Concerns About the Transparency of the Judging Process

I’ve submitted three projects that rely directly on the Gemini API, yet the dashboard still shows zero API requests, which strongly suggests that none of them have been tested. The hackathon lists 31 judges, which comes out to roughly 11 projects per judge, and two weeks have already passed. These numbers simply don’t add up, and it’s making me question whether the evaluation process is actually happening.
I don’t like feeling this way, but the complete lack of activity is making me lose confidence in the fairness and transparency of the judging process.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for participating in this hackathon and writing in. We’re very grateful for the time and effort you put into your project. We assure you the judging process is conducted with integrity and adherence to the official rules which state "Judges are not required to test the Project and may choose to judge based solely on the text description, images, and video provided in the Submission." With that said, please know that we take app testing very seriously and we do test internally to ensure that the required APIs are used and that the apps function as depicted in the video. We wish you the best of luck!

    Can I get some feedback on my project? Is it good, or are there any mistakes?
