IBM Call For Code

Hello OzU,

Call for Code brings startup, academic, and enterprise developers together and inspires them to solve the most pressing societal issues of our time.

The 2018 Call for Code Global Challengeis a competition that asks developers to outthink natural disasters and build solutions that significantly improve the current state of natural disaster preparedness in order to reduce the disruptive impact on human lives, health, and wellbeing. It is the first event run by the Call for Code Global Initiative. The prize structure is intended to act as an incentive for teams to build high-quality, lasting solutions that can be deployed in the areas of greatest need and that benefits all parties.

All code developed as part of the “Call for Code” must be fresh and demonstrably involve IBM Cloud services (including open source services). Before the start of the “Call for Code”, developers can create wireframes, designs and user flows. To keep things fair, all code must be written during the duration of the “Call for Code” Challenge, from May 24 to September 28. Other than that, almost anything goes, and you can use any coding languages or open-source libraries.

Teams have ownership of everything they build. The winning team and two semi-finalists will receive support from The Linux Foundation to nurture their submission as an open source project and build a community around it, ensuring that it is deployable around the world in the areas of greatest need. The Participant Agreement contains complete details of the rules.

Grand Prize:

• $200.000 USD cash prize
• Invitation to the Call for Code Global Prize Event
• VC introduction and pitch opportunity
• Offer to deploy the solution with IBM Corporate Service Corps
