New Winners: Project Deceitfulness
Hi participants,
After careful review, our team concluded that some top-ranking project submissions conflicted with our rules. Some had been submitted to previous hackathons and some had been started a long time before Launchhacks III. The rankings have completely been redone and here are the new rankings:
First Place: "sharity.", Second Place: "Green Health Monitor", Third Place: "GeoStorage", Fourth and Fifth Place: "Yoga-ON" and "EduProctor".
"BrailleVision" and "EduApp" have been disqualified due to their breaking of our rules. If you have any evidence of other projects' deceitfulness, please email us or join our Discord server and DM one…

Winners!
Hey participants,
The winners for the Launchhacks III hackathon are now out!
First place: "BrailleVision", Second Place: "sharity.", Third Place: "Green Health Monitor", Fourth and Fifth place: "EduApp" and "GeoStorage"
To see the winners, go to the "gallery" and look for projects with the "first/second/third/fourth and fifth" place tags. These are the winners who won prizes; the other projects marked as "winners" have won participant prizes.
Sorry for the confusion!

And the winner is...
The judges have weighed in, and we're excited to share the news! Go to the LaunchHacks III gallery to congratulate the winners and check out all of the awesome submissions.
All projects are marked as "winners" but the projects with the "first / second / third / fourth & fifth" place tags are the ones who won prizes. Sorry for the confusion!
Even though the competition is over, you don't have to stop coding. Update your portfolio to inform your followers about new projects and get feedback from fellow hackers.
