The Twilio Developer Contest aims to encourage developers to build an app that helps them tackle their tasks and goals in a more efficient way. The contest, which kicked off the new year, focuses on thinking big and taking risks, with the goal of making 2012 the best year ever. To participate, developers must submit an app using Twilio API by January 15th, with bonus points awarded for submission to the Twilio App Gallery. The winner will receive a Kindle Fire, and the contest is open to developers of all shapes and sizes who want to solve problems and grab glory using Twilio's cloud communications platform.
