Bolt Hackathon: Will judges be able to see my submission if it's locked as "Private"?

Hi Bolt team

I submitted my project for the Bolt hackathon before the deadline

After submission, I am noticing that the project visibility is now locked as Private, and I can no longer change it to "Secret" or "Public". The “Visibility” option is greyed out.

I want to confirm:

Will the judges still be able to view my submission even though it’s marked Private on my end?

Am I allowed to create a duplicate project and set that to Secret or Public for the purpose of sharing it in the Gallery or with others — without violating hackathon rules?

Would really appreciate a clear response from the team or anyone who has dealt with this.

Thanks in advance!

    Is impossible for 30 judges to see so many submission. AI will do the selection until few will be left.

    i assume they are going off of the submission form on devpost, videos and pictures and if the project is live it is a plus, don't think they will be going into each project individually.

    Hello Supratip, The judges will have access to the publicly available version* linked within your project as well. Please note that "Judges are not required to test the Project and may choose to judge based solely on the text description, images, and video provided in the Submission." Best of luck with the judges!

    I very much agree, its a lot. I have been monitoring my project for any activity, but haven't seen any yet. hoping someone will test mine.
