Avalanche Developer Tutorial Contest

Details

Winners will also be promoted across social media and the Avalanche community.

Contest rules

$50,000 Avalanche Developer Tutorial Contest:

• Submissions should function as stand-alone tutorials, explaining the step-by-step process of achieving a concrete goal. Developers following the tutorial should have a complete understanding of how to repeat the task in their own development process.
• Steps in the process should be clear, with concrete code examples that can be copied and reused.
• Every newly introduced term should be explained in the tutorial. General programming knowledge is presumed.

Timing

• Round 1: Aug 2nd — Aug 9th (12AM EST)
• Round 2: Aug 17th — Aug 24th (12AM EST)

How It Works

There will be two rounds of judging. All submissions accepted for the second round will receive $1K. If you incorporate the feedback you receive from the Avalanche Developer team in round 2, you’ll receive the corresponding prize listed below.

The best Tutorials will be chosen on originality, creativity, simplicity, correctness, accuracy, practical implementation and ease of understanding.

All decisions will be made in Avalanche’s sole discretion and are final.

Winner Announcement

Winners of the contest will be announced on the Avalanche social media channels, and via community channels.
