Challenge Summary
The 2010 TopCoder Open onsite finals at The Mirage in Las Vegas are almost upon us. We're looking to the TopCoder and Studio community to come up with a cool idea for the TCO10 onsite finals that can benefit online and onsite spectators and/or the finalsits. The top (2) two idea winners will get a trip to the TCO10 to run their idea onsite.
The purpose of this contest is to think up an idea for onsite and online spectators of the TCO and/or finalists. We're looking something new and innovative to introduce to the event. In the past we've had webcasts, bloggers, video contests, and photo slide shows. This year we want you to come up with something cool and then implement it at the TCO10 for us! Your idea must be something that can feasibly be done onsite at the TCO10 - you will have a budget of $100 to run your idea at the TCO10. (Once the winners are chosen, you will work with TopCoder staff to get any supplies needed.) You must explain in detail what supplies you would need, if any. Examples of topics of ideas can be as follows (but please be creative you do not have to follow one of these!): - Social media - Games/contests - Las Vegas related For example, your idea could be using Twitter and tweeting all day, every day at the event letting everyone know the ins and outs of what is going on. Another example would be setting up a poker tournament for fun for all the spectators and finalists. (Please note the above examples should not be used as your submission and will not be considered). Only members who are have not yet won a trip to the TCO10 finals are eligible for this contest! Target Audience The target audience will be TopCoder members, spectators, TC staff and clients.
