This is my first Hacktoberfest. At first, I thought I was too much of a newbie to participate, but I've seen with OSS is that there's something for everyone. So far, I have opened 2 PRs, working on a 3rd, and hope to get a 4th by the end of the month!

Question:

What are the eligible projects? I vaguely remember that last year we need to look for projects with hacktoberfest hash tag somewhere.

I don't see that part mentioned anywhere this year. Is it still required?

I want to confirm it first because I remember last year some of my PRs were not recognized, even after several days.

This year too, for making a valid PR that count towards Hactoberfest 2021, you must have to look for the 'hacktoberfest' topic in any projects. Also you can check more rules here hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/

It will make you clear!
