If you're a student age 13 or older who has not yet begun university studies, we'd love to see you help out these projects. In return, you'll learn more about all aspects of developing software - not just programming - and you'll be eligible to win cash prizes and the all important t-shirt! You will, of course, need your parent or guardian's permission to participate where applicable.

The contest is open to all students who are thirteen (13) years of age or older on November 27, 2007. Students must be enrolled in a pre-university, e.g. high school or secondary school, educational institution. All contestants will need to have their parent or guardian's consent to participate where applicable, and we will ask for proof of consent before you can claim any prizes.
