Prizes

Prize pot

The starting prize pot size is 50,000 ISK per week, to be awarded to the best projects that week.

Sponsorship

Projects are currently sponsored by Codalens ehf. Hopefully later we can find more companies in the community that are willing to contribute to the prize pot.

Eligibility

Projects must be built by Iceland-based developers. Projects can be at any stage of development, from idea to launched product.

I'm not 100% sure what the criteria will be at this point, there'll be discussions on that as we go along.

I want to encourage general software development too, so web apps, mobile apps, desktop apps, libraries, CLIs, etc are all fair game.

• Novelty
• Usefulness
• Execution quality
• Digital sovereignty score (points based on hosting choices)

Initially the focus is on side projects, but if you have a full time project that you're working on that you're willing to share and get feedback on, that's fine too.

I'd like to get to multiple prizes in different categories, but that's for later.

Prize giving and selection

To begin with I'll be picking the winners of the prizes.

Prizes are weekly with a minimum group of 5 projects to judge between at least to begin with.

Prize sizes and quantity will depend on sponsorships, but we're good for few months @ 50k per week.

ATH: Þetta er naglasupa

This is an experiment. I have no idea if this will work, or how well it will be received.

Please share your thoughts and feedback to help improve this.
