# $285K USD Awarded to Sui x KuCoin Labs Hackathon Winners

Thirty teams have been awarded a prize for their participation in [Sui x KuCoin Labs Summer Hackathon](https://hack.sui.io/). Projects were submitted between May 29 and July 5, with a final demo day of shortlisted projects on July 19th in Paris. Demoing teams had seven minutes to present their projects and answer questions, in person or virtually, to a panel of judges as well as the assembled Sui community. A portion of the presentations are available to [watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-7_pCV4QyQ).
