The contest is designed as an incentive for students to learn more about programming and to reward quality work. Cash prizes of $300 for first place, $150 for second, $100 for third and $50 for honorable mention will be offered.
Online registration will begin Jan. 5, 2011. Final project submissions are due Feb. 15. There is no cost to enter.
Students can enter individually or as a group and must have a sponsoring teacher. The sponsoring teacher can be any teacher/instructor who is familiar with the student’s or group’s programming skills.
More about the contest’s requirements
Entries can be written in a high-level programming language such as Visual BASIC, C++ or Java, as long as it is executable on a PC running a LINUX or Windows operating system. Games are acceptable as entries.
All entries must be accompanied by clear documentation of:
- The problem the program is intended to solve.
- Instruction of program installation and deployment or complete installation package.
- Operation instruction.
Submissions will be judged on their functionality, design style, user interface and graphic interaction, completeness of documentation of system and platform requirement, clearness of instruction on how to execute the application and the percentage of self-developed code.
