Dev Idols 2011 Coming to Teched.

Do you have what it takes?

untitledDev Idol is coming to Tech·Ed Africa again this year, do you have what it takes to be our winner?

We’re looking for the rock star (presenter) of the future! If you’re passionate about technology and development show us!

Enter our Dev Idol competition at Tech·Ed Africa, strut your stuff on stage and wow our judges and the developer community with your talent.

Our panel of judges will select the winning Dev Idol who will receive a ticket to Teched 2012 and the potential to present at the event.

How is this going to work?

You will have the opportunity to submit presentations to us, we will list them on our blog and ask the developer community to vote for their favourites. The top 6 presentations, as voted for by the developers out there, will be selected to compete in Dev Idol. You will then deliver your sessions for our judges to score you. The winners will be announced once the judges have tallied their results.
