Submitting to Multiple Hackathons

I am currently building a completely new project for the Gemini Live Agent Challenge, started within the official eligibility period. The same core concept also fits the Amazon Nova AI Hackathon (amazon-nova.devpost.com), which is running during the same timeframe.

If I implement different architectures tailored to each platform (one version using Gemini models and another using Amazon Nova models), would it be acceptable to submit to both hackathons?

Thank you for your guidance.

    Hi there,

    Building two separate versions of a project (+ two separate code repos, demos, etc) to meet the specific requirements of two different hackathons is a massive undertaking, especially when they share the same deadline. While it may be technically possible if you are starting from scratch within the submissions periods, the most successful participants are those who pick the platform that best aligns with their vision and go "all-in." High-quality, deep execution on one platform almost always outshines a broad approach across two.
