A summary of the rules can be found below. For a complete look at the terms of the contest please see the Dev Derby Contest Official Rules.

  • Almost anyone can enter (see the rules for exceptions).
  • There will be a new contest every month.
  • Your entry must meet certain criteria; see the rules for the overall criteria and the Current Challenge section for any special criteria for each contest.
  • Each contest runs from the first day of the month to the last day of the month (based on US Pacific time).
  • Entries will be judged by a panel of qualified reviewers, who may or may not take into account how many “likes” your entry receives.
  • The winners of each month's contest will be announced by the 20th of the following month.
  • You can't win more than once in the same calendar year.
  • Please read the Dev Derby Contest Official Rules before submitting your entry.
{% endtrans %}
{% trans %}

Entries will be reviewed by a panel of qualified judges, including members of the Mozilla team and outside experts. We will rate the demos across 4 dimensions:

{% endtrans %} {% trans %}
  • Technology – Does the demo showcase the power of open Web technologies?
  • Originality – How innovative and unique is the demo?
  • Aesthetics – How good is the visual design and interaction experience?
  • Practicality – How useful is this demo in enhancing the Web today?
{% endtrans %} {% trans %}

The judges will use all four dimensions in scoring each entry, and any additional criteria specified for a particular contest.

{% endtrans %} {% trans %}

The judges may also take into account how many “likes” the entries have received from the community. So make sure to share your demo with others and encourage them to visit Dev Derby to “vote.”
