This week Twilio is launching a new contest category called "Twilio for the News Media" where developers are encouraged to build applications related to the news using Twilio's communication platform, such as apps allowing sources to anonymously contact newspapers or voice comment hotlines. The deadline for submitting applications is Sunday, January 10th, and winners will receive a Dell Netbook mini. The contest promotes developer skills, new applications, and explores Twilio's technology, with categories announced each week and submissions due the following Sunday.
