Get the down low on the final submissions

[Christine4]

All final submissions for this year’s SAS Hackathon are due by Oct. 19, 2025. A completed final submission includes the following:

1. Complete and submit the Use Case Form (1 entry per team). This form will open for submissions on Oct. 1, 2025.
2. Two final video submissions uploaded to:
   1. The SAS Hackathon SharePoint site and
   2. Team Profile on SAS Hacker’s Hub.

For the two final video submissions, watch this webinar to hear how to tell a compelling video story, or “video storytelling”.

Video storytelling is the art of using video to tell a compelling and engaging narrative. And we want your business case to shine!

As a follow-up to the webinar What You Need to Know About Your Final Submissions, here are some assets to review and use in your team's video submissions:

•  Video guidelines (framework and best practices). [PDF]
• Assets to organize your story (The Challenge, The Innovation and The Impact).
• Three mp4 files are in the attached .zip file. Download the file to extract and use the mp4 files.
•  On-demand webinar: "What You Need to Know About Your Final Submissions" (grab your popcorn and rewatch the show).

Don’t forget: Every story has a message or theme. In video storytelling, your business case should be clear, guiding the audience to a specific conclusion or call to action. Good storytelling also involves mixing visual elements, audio and text to communicate a message to a specific audience. Avoid music and focus more on the business case message and visuals.

Get your creative juices flowing! Check out examples of great video storytelling from past SAS Hackathons.

Reminder: Don't forget to take a look at the TEAM Checklist.
