Jul 10, 2012 by kpitkin

Thinking about entering the DevCSI Open Repositories Challenge?

Wondering what we’re looking for?

We can exclusively reveal our judging criteria to help you craft your idea throughout the day!

We will be looking for evidence of…

• Innovation
• Vision
• Relevance to user problems
• Coolness
• Usability
• Plausibility for adoption/technical implementation
• Functionality
• Overall fit to the challenge
• Audience vote

Once you have entered your initial idea, you are free to refine and craft it as much as you want before pitching it in front of our judges. You can work on your idea in our Developer Lounge, where you can practice pitching it in front of others and get advice from our judging team to make your idea even better.

Remember, the deadline for entries has been extended to 4pm TODAY (10th July) so you need to get your initial idea up on our ideas page pretty quick.
