The Gopher Gala invites people to write a meaningful standalone application using Go over the course of a weekend.
It is an online, virtual competition, and you will be competing with developers from all around the world.
Afterwards, the community and our expert judges vote on the apps. Winners receive prizes and the respect of the Go community.
Participants will break up into teams of 1-4 people before the Gala begins, and then over the course of a 48-hour period will produce a standalone application. There are no rules on what you can make - however, the critical part of your app must be written in Go.
At the end of the period, teams will submit their apps for judging. There will be a community judging phase where anyone who participated in the Gala can vote on their favorite apps, and then an expert judging phase to decide the winners.
Winners will receive prizes from our sponsors and the respect of the Go community.
