Submission checklist Run through this list before you sit back from your project:

• Are you submitting a working playbook?
• Have you submitted your playbook to the Cortex XSOAR Marketplace for testing and inclusion? Remember: Playbooks along with other relevant content need to be submitted on Cortex XSOAR Marketplace by the submission deadline, September 29, 2020 (5:00pm Eastern Time). This includes submission of a pull request on Github using the Marketplace ‘Contribute content’ feature available within the XSOAR hackathon instances.
• Have you created a submission video? Does your video include a demo of your working application via a step-by-step visual demo? (See these video-making tips)

Be sure to read through the official rules more than once. Or better yet, have a friend or colleague provide a second pair of eyes to make sure you didn’t miss anything.
