Judging criteria
How thoroughly and skillfully does the project use Strands Agents? Does the code reflect genuine effort and a working, non-trivial implementation? A live demo and/or Amazon Bedrock AgentCore deployment will strengthen this score.
Does the project deliver a complete, coherent product experience and not just a technical proof of concept?
Does the project make a credible, specific case for solving a real problem for a real audience, and does the solution actually address that problem based on what's demonstrated?
Is this a creative, non-obvious use of Strands Agents and does the team demonstrate genuine understanding of the problem space they're working in?
Does the video clearly demonstrate the project working end-to-end? Does the pitch communicate what problem is solved, who it's for, and why it matters? Is the overall presentation easy to follow?
