Google Holding Competition With Google I/O Passes as Prizes
Wanted to get in on Google I/O? Couldn’t buy a ticket before they were all sold out in just 59 minutes? Google’s got something to tell you: they’ve been holding on to 100 more and they want to give them away. Vic Gundotra just posted on their blog about a contest they’re holding that’ll see 100 lucky coders heading to Google I/O.
The contest starts March 16th and goes on for 10 days with a chance to win one of 10 tickets each day. Two rounds will be oversought: a preliminary question answering round, and a coding challenge for those who make it through. The challenges will be themed by day.
