There are ten global awards, here are last year's winners: https://www.spaceappschallenge.org/nasa-space-apps-2024/awards/global-winners/

I don't think he will be in the running for be in the running for the Most Inspirational, Art & Tech, Local Impact, or Storytelling categories.

He's entering it, he's got an idea of what he'll submit, and he's grabbed a couple friends to help him with it.

Clarification edit: My understanding is that there are many hackathons happening this weekend around the world, and for global awards you are competing with all of them, so winning a global award should be more difficult than winning the local Victoria hackathon.
