Google is running a DevArt competition with various prizes; the top prize being £25,000 (equivalent to about $41,000) and a commission for a digital art installation in the Digital Revolution exhibition at the Barbican in London.
Learn how to enter the competition on Google’s DevArt site. You’ll need a GitHub account.
Deadline is March 28, 2014 so better start coding!
