The Twilio Developer Contest is a 1-minute read that encourages developers to try Twilio for different use cases and industries. The contest runs weekly, with new categories announced each week, and submissions are due by August 15th at 11:59pm Pacific Time. Developers can submit their projects, which must demonstrate the value of what they've built or explain how it could become a business someday, and receive bonus points for creating helpful materials such as screencasts or blog posts. The contest aims to reward developers' efforts and encourage them to find success with Twilio, and previous non-winners are eligible to resubmit their projects.
