This week for our developer contest we’re challenging you to use Twilio voice and/or SMS to enable alerts and notifications.  You could win a Netbook and $100 in developer credit from Twilio if you come up with the most unique, powerful, creative submission.

Bonus points for putting together helpful materials (screencasts, blog posts, etc.) that demonstrate the value of what you’ve built, or explain how it could become a business someday.

What’s This Developer Contest All About?

Each week we announce a new category to encourage developers to try Twilio for different use cases, industries, and integrations.  As a language-agnostic platform for cloud communications, we want to see developers from all backgrounds find success and solve problems with Twilio.  To fire your imagination and reward your efforts, we’ve run this developer contest for over a year.

How To Get Involved

Submissions to the contest are due by Sunday night, at 11:59pm Pacific Time and can be submitted here.  If you need any help or want to bounce ideas off our Twilio developers, please join us on our forums or drop a note to help@twilio.com

IMPORTANT: Everyone who has submitted previously and did not win is eligible to resubmit (we love that we make the rules!) so if you built a Twilio app in the past that includes alerts and notifications but weren’t a winner we hope you’ll consider sprucing up you old app for another chance at winning a Netbook.
