Developers will compete for prizes furnished by the Super Bowl Host Committee and other prize sponsors. Prizes include a $1,000 cash prize from TurboSquid. The winning apps will be made public and promoted in the days leading up to the Super Bowl.
If you are an interested developer, then you are encouraged to register to participate online at: http://codemkrs.com/register/. The hack-a-thon kicks off at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, January 11, at Peter Mayer headquarters at 318 Camp Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans. Sound interesting?
