Dear Professor,

 

My name is Flora Sohee Kang. I am in charge of attracting participants to the Korean government's Open Source Software Competition. This is the 8th annual event. A total of $30,000 will be awarded to winners in the international division of the competition this year. It would be our honor to have your students as participants.

 

International participants are exclusively allowed to submit any open source software developed within one year, even if they received a prize from another competition with it. 

 

In addition, projects over one year old will be accepted by our judging panel, if it has been significantly improved recently. There is no limit for the number of team members.

 

To date there have been only eight entries this year, increasing the odds of your students winning a cash prize.

 

Please visit our website www.ossaward.org <http://www.ossaward.org/> .

Our registration deadline is August 17th.

The final submission deadline is October 26th.

 

I hope you will encourage your students to participate. I am quite sure that this will be a great opportunity for them. Every team that submits its completed project will get an official certificate issued by NIPA of Korea. They have only to submit project documents, source code and a demo video in English, or provide the project URL including these items. We will wire the award money to the winners. 

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me at 

 <mailto:ossawards at gmail.com> ossawards at gmail.com . 

Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Best regards,

OSS World Challenge 2014 Secretariat
