Hello,

Cogapp has launched a new monthly coding competition for students in the 
Sussex area. If you are (or know) any students who may be interested 
please forward this onto them - cash prizes await! Details below:

"Cogapp has launched a new coding competition for students in the Sussex 
area. Called 'Codeo', it will see monthly challenges for those studying, 
or interested in, coding, programming and web or game design. A cash 
prize of £100 will be awarded to the winning individual or group 
submission, following an internal judging process at the end of each 
month. The winner will also be invited to our Brighton office to meet 
our team, and will have their work displayed on our blog (they will, of 
course, remain the full owner of their code or intellectual property).

The competition is a chance to strengthen ties between local industry 
and the universities. Course tutors will be telling students about the 
challenges, and may later help Cogapp select tasks that tie in with 
course modules. In time, Codeo may become a useful learning resource and 
networking space, as participants begin to compare and exchange tips and 
ideas.

It is hoped the competition will encourage students to try new ideas and 
develop their skills, contributing in the longer term to the development 
of digital media in Brighton."
