By popular demand, we will once again have a contest aspect to Devtoberfest. In 2021 we introduced the idea of earning points from a variety of different activities. This expanded the contest to a much greater number of community members. Therefore, this year’s Devtoberfest contest will again use the same basic structure.
It will be a points-based contest. Points are awarded for things like attending one of the educational sessions, completing certain developer tutorials tied to the topic weeks, or other activities that contribute to the SAP Developer Community. Prizes are awarded based upon SAP Community badges which you earn and you must have a public Community profile to participate.
The listing of activities, points, and other contest details is Coming Soon.
But the fun doesn’t end there. We brought back the animated Contest Gameboard to help you track your progress through the contest. Just add your SAP Community Profile ID (the one from people.sap.com - https://people.sap.com/#personal_info - the value you want is the #personal_info part of the URL) to the end of the following URL: https://devrel-tools-prod-scn-badges-srv.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/devtoberfestContest/scnId.Her....
And if you are curious how we built the animated gameboard, we have also released the whole thing as a Sample Code repository here.
We also have digital prizes that you can win this year. But most exciting, we have a genuinely great grand prize again this year. It's an all-expense paid trip (see details below) to SAP’s Newport Beach office in California to meet with SAP leaders, product experts and an VIP experience at one of area's major tourist destinations. This grand prize includes:- Economy round-trip airfare during event specific dates
- Single Occupancy Hotel Room during event specific dates
- Airport transfer fees to and from major gateway airports during event specific dates
- Meals during event specific dates
- Theme Park ticket, meals, and transportation on specific date
You will need to earn points to qualify for a prize tier and then to be as fair as possible we will perform a random drawing amongst everyone that qualified for that level. And as always be sure to review the legal terms and conditions. We also have an FAQ About the Grand Prize Trip.
All the possible points for earning activities and the value of each activity are detailed here (Coming Soon).
Complete tutorials, attend sessions, and solve code challenges you might be sporting a nice pair of mouse ears on your VIP prize trip!
