Hey, all-star devs of D.C.: Are you ready to bet your coding skills against a total of $50,000? Yes, you read that right. Technical.ly is helping to organize a coding competition with one of the biggest cash prizes in the country, and it all starts this weekend.
{OpenBracket, designed to bring attention to the tech scene in Delaware, begins with an open, online coding competition on the platform HackerRank. This part of the competition runs Oct. 15-17 (this weekend!) and features a $10,000 top prize.

But that’s not all. On Nov. 5, 100 finalists from the HackerRank competition will be invited to Wilmington (expenses paid) to compete for another $15,000 (plus smaller prizes for other top finishers). This IRL portion of the competition will run right into the second annual Delaware Innovation Week, a further reason to celebrate and explore the Delaware tech scene.
