Feel free to use whatever technology you’d like! The more creative, the better 🎉.

As long as you provide all the instructions for our judges to be able to test the application on their own, you can use any programming language or platform that you want.

"test the application on their own": Should I provide instructions to use the app as an end user, or a developer?

I believe either should be fine. You can deploy your app to a cloud platform like Heroku or Netlify as a live demo and/or provide instructions in your Git repo README for the judges to run & test. Since open source licensing of the app's code is one of the requirements, I assume the judges are developers themselves who will be reviewing code & installing your app anyway.
