Began accepting applications for participation in the championship championship Devcup 2013

Every year, a lot of technology experts come to the Texas city of Austin for the South by Southwest Interactive festival . SXSW Interactive is one of our favorite events, and we decided that this is the most appropriate place to announce the launch of our annual Devcup developer competition.

As part of Evernote Devcup developers and designers around the world are encouraged to create products that can extend the functionality of Evernote, helping users save, share and quickly access all the important moments in their lives.

Last year, more than 2,000 developers and designers from hundreds of applications took part in the Devcup. This year we hope to see even more, so we talk about competition in new countries, offer more prizes and work in partnership with other companies.


EverClip ranks first in the Devcup 2012. From left to right: Evernote CEO Phil Libin, EverClip project manager Francis Chong, Evernote evangelist Rafe Needleman and vice president of strategic development for Evernote platform Seth Hchings.

purpose

Evernote is used for a variety of purposes and meets the needs of 50 million users worldwide - this makes the possibilities for integration with the Evernote platform almost limitless. If your application helps the user to save, share, view or visualize important information, then a bundle with Evernote will be very appropriate for him. We are looking for beautiful applications that provide users with more opportunities to use Evernote at home and at work, on smartphones, tablets, computers and other devices, in Russia, the USA, China and anywhere in the world.

Our partners

This year two partners work with us to help us attract new developers: Honda Silicon Valley Lab and AWS Startups .



Honda Silicon Valley Lab is a research and development division of Honda that now serves as an Evernote partner in all of our developer programs. Honda will help us with the hackathon in San Francisco and will sponsor a special Innovation Award at the Devcup.

Amazon Web Services Startups is a leading cloud platform that offers server resources to all Devcup participants and additional bonuses for winning teams, namely, ensuring the work of the projects after the end of the competition.

Prizes

Devcup 2013 provides three stages for determining winners.

Winners in categories
The first stage of the championship will allow you to identify the best application in each of a dozen categories, including “Efficiency”, “Sport and Fitness”, “Family and Education”, “Cooking”, “Photography” and “Design”. Each winner will receive tickets for the Evernote conference, which will be held in San Francisco this fall.

Finalists
The six best applications from the first stage will be selected as finalists, which we will compensate for all the costs of a trip to the Evernote conference. There, the finalists will be able to present their work to guests who choose gold, silver and bronze medalists.
