A loaded Apple iMac Pro valued at ~$10,000 USD (detailed specifications may vary based on availability and + applicable law in the potential winner’s country of residence).
+ 4 Winners each receive: +A Lenovo 10" Smart Display with the Google Assistant valued at ~$249.00 USD (based on availability and applicable + law in the potential winner’s country of residence).
+ Up to 25 Winners each receive: +A Lenovo Smart Clock with the Google Assistant valued at ~$79.00 USD (based on availability and applicable law + in the potential winner’s country of residence).
+In addition, all participants who submit complete and valid entries will receive a digital certificate of + completion when their code repository is made public by February 5th, 2020. Also, some submissions may be integrated + into the Lenovo Smart Clock's lineup of clock faces, or may be used as inspiration for future clock faces.
+ +- title: What do I submit? + content: > + See the submission instructions in the ‘Getting Started’ section, and the + + Official Rules for more details. + +- title: Can I submit more than one entry? + content: > + We limit entries to one per participant. We encourage you to submit your best entry! In the event of multiple + submissions from a single participant, we'll only judge the most recent. + +- title: I've already built a clock face; can I submit that for the challenge? + content: > + Unfortunately, no. Only new clock faces built after November 18th, 2019 can be submitted for consideration. + +- title: Can I make fresh updates to an existing clock face built in the past, and submit that? + content: > + No, you must submit a new clock face started for this contest to qualify. + +- title: Does the clock have to show the time? + content: > + The viewer should be able to tell the time. Whether that be with digits, clock hands, a sundial shadow, or colors + flashing in Morse code, there should be some way for a user to reliably determine the time. (It’s OK if telling the + time requires some thinking.) +- title: Do I need to add any extra functionality like alarms or stopwatches? + content: > + No, this will not be considered by the judges when determining winners. +- title: Does the clock have to use data retrieved from ClockModel? + content: > + No. We provide the ClockModel mockable API for system-level information on the Lenovo Smart Clock. This API is + available to you in your clock face, but using it is not required. + +- title: Must my clock have both a dark and light mode? Should I animate the transition between dark and light mode? + content: > + No, to both questions. The Lenovo Smart Clock has a feature that animates a clock between dark and light mode based + on the room's brightness. You can use it to determine a dark and light theme, but it's not required. You can also + animate between themes using, for example, an AnimatedBuilder or ValueListenableBuilder, but it's also not required. + +- title: Does the clock have to show other information, such as weather and date? + content: > + No. We provide the ClockModel, a mockable API including weather information on the Lenovo Smart Clock. You don't + have to display or use any of this information. + +- title: How do I change the clock settings (e.g. weather, location, 24 hr time format)? + content: > + Tap the sample clock face to show/hide the settings cog in the top right corner, and then tap on the settings cog. + +- title: What language(s) should the clock use? + content: > + Any. If you have words in your clock, consider + internationalizing + them. Note that written parts of your submission must be in English to be eligible for judging, and your submission must, at a minimum, support English language + evaluation. However, we will not judge your clock face for language inclusion. Please ensure that your clock face’s + text does not include profanity in any language, and is built and submitted in accordance with the + + Official Rules. + +- title: What accessibility requirements should I add? + content: > + Google values accessibility, and it will be a consideration in your submission as part of the “overall execution” + criteria. Check the + Flutter accessibility page for details. + +- title: > + Will the judgement of my clock have the same UX considerations as for the Lenovo Smart Clock? For example: Should I + consider how the clock looks in a bedroom setting, or in a dimly lit room? Must I consider use cases such as the + user waking up in the middle of the night, or viewing the clock from across the room? + content: > + No. See the judging criteria in the + + Official Rules for more details. + +- title: What tips do you have to check the performance of my clock? + content: > + Take a look at Flutter performance profiling, + and enable the performance + overlay feature in the + Flutter + Inspector to see whether frames are being drawn redundantly. + +- title: Is there an age limit to participate? + content: > + You must not be a minor (per your country of residence) to be eligible for the contest. + +- title: Can I use Flare animations? + content: > + Yes, you can use Flare animations in your submission. + +- title: > + Can I store data in a separate file? For example, can I store a list of ways to say 'Good Morning' in a JSON file? + content: > + Yes. Make sure to include such files as assets in your submission. + +- title: Do contest submissions have to be formatted by the Dart formatter? + content: > + Yes. This ensures more consistent and readable code. + You can do this from your IDE or at the command + line. + +- title: Speaking of code formatting, what are some good coding practices for Flutter? + content: > + Check out Effective Dart. + (Note that the Flutter codebase has its own formatting guidelines and doesn't adhere to Effective Dart.) + +- title: Can a team of people submit a single clock? + content: > + A team of people can work on a single clock, but the person submitting the clock through our form should be + authorized to submit the clock (including all code and assets) on behalf of every person in the entire team, and + each winning clock is only eligible for 1 prize. + +- title: Do assets (art, fonts) also have to be created by participants? + content: > + All assets must comply with our + + Official Rules for submissions, and participants must either create or have permission to use (e.g. via a license) and + submit all parts of their submission. + +- title: My clock looks or behaves differently on web! What do I do? + content: > + We will not be judging your clock on web. Web is currently in technical preview and is missing some features, but is + a great way to share your app with others. + +- title: If I have more questions, where should I go? + content: > + Take a look through our + + Official Rules and, if you still have questions, please + file a Flutter Clock GitHub issue. + +- title: How can I share my clock face online? + content: > + We’re glad you asked! Flutter’s web support is in technical preview and you can use to share your clock face online. + Once you enable web support, test your app by selecting + Chrome as the target device in your IDE, or at the command line with flutter run -d chrome. Build a web + version of your app for deployment using flutter build web. Then, you can host it using + GitHub Pages, Firebase, + or any other web hosting solution.
