Prizes

Each prize consist of cash (in $USD) and a series of other goodies from Atlassian's favourite Java companies around the world.

Here are the prize packs we have lined up at the moment (there may be more exciting announcements coming, stay tuned!):

First prize: $USD 5000

Let's face it: schwag is nice, but you really want cash. Enough cash to buy your own island. Well, we can't do much about the island, but you can win enough dough to buy a pretty tricked-out system.

In addition, for your developing pleasure you'll receive:

  • a conference pass to The ServerSide Symposium - where the best Java engineers on the planet meet (and you might just meet some Atlassian folks too!).
  • a personal license for JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA- the best Java IDE and weapon of choice for Atlassian engineers.
  • a license for Cenqua Fisheye - the version control portal, grokking our SCM on a daily basis.
  • a workstation license for Cenqua Clover - the original-and-best code coverage tool.
  • a personal license for the YourKit Java Profiler - the profiler that makes JIRA continually faster and leaner.
  • and a one-year subscription to Mindreef® SOAPscope® - the industry's leading tool for capturing and investigating Web services--Mindreef SOAPscope is used to test our remote APIs
  • four online book subscriptions from Sourcebeat - because no matter how good a developer you are, you can never know enough.
Honorable Mention (2x): $USD 2000

Not every one can be a winner. But at least you can avoid being a loser. We've got two $2000 Honorable Mention prizes up for grabs. And hey, two grand still enough for a nice laptop.

In addition, you'll honorably receive:

Best Hack: $USD 1000

We have a highly developed sense of humor. And we're willing to put our money where our funny-bone is. We'll pony up $1000 for the most egregious misuse of technology involving our products. If you can figure out how to turn JIRA into a robot bartender, then hats off (and maybe $1000) to you, my friend.

In addition, to continue your flouting of technological norms you'll receive:

Everyone (We know you're really doing this for the free t-shirt.)

All entrants get a stylish Atlassian t-shirt. Be the envy of all the geeks at the next conference you attend.

Thanks 

Our sincere thanks to JetBrains, The ServerSide, Cenqua, Mindreef, YourKit and Sourcebeat. You guys rock - not just for donating some cool prizes, we just simply wouldn't be able to build the software we do without you.
