Time to show what you can do with Google Cloud Platform!
Wednesday, September 4, 2013
Google Cloud Platform
is used around the world to create and deploy solutions that are affordable, scalable and easy to maintain. These qualities empower developers worldwide to solve local and global challenges with cloud technology .
This sets the stage for the very first
Google Cloud Platform Developer Challenge
. We’re inviting you to build locally relevant web applications that solve real world problems. You will have the opportunity to “WOW” the world with your awesome web application built on
Google App Engine
using Google APIs like the
Google+
,
YouTube
and
Maps
APIs.
The competition starts September 4th, 2013 with the first round of submissions starting on the October 22nd, 2013. The categories for this challenge are
Enterprise/Small Business Solutions , Education, Not for Profit
Social / Personal Productivity/Games / Fun
Submissions will be accepted from any one of six regions across the world:
Latin America
Sub Saharan Africa
South East Asia
Middle East & North Africa
India
Rest of the World
We will be working in tandem with
Google Developer Groups (GDGs)
,
Google Business Groups
and
Google Student Ambassadors
to put up and organize events around the challenge. Ensure you connect with your local communities for more information about these meetups.
Do you want to start hacking out a cloud based web app now and you need pointers and hints? If yes , then the
Google App Engine tutorial
is a good place to start.
The Form+ team, one of the winners of last year's Google Apps Developer Challenge
If your application is judged the best in your region, within one of the two categories mentioned above, you could win a prize of $20,000!

In line with this, we have special prizes for all-female teams -- $2,000 and $1,000 dollars for ‘all-student teams’ that make the second round.
