Ada-Belgium

offers 400 Euro for the best example of

what Ada can do

We're looking for an interesting idea and good Ada. The judges' decision will be based on originality, utility, quality, style, reusability, readability and good use of Ada features.

You can enter existing work or new material written for the contest. We will consider all types of projects: applications, libraries or even incomplete works. If you are building on top of an existing library or other piece of code then your work should be indicated clearly and should predominantly be in Ada; the library you use need not be.
The judges will consider the code itself; you should indicate the most interesting parts of your source - about 1K lines - for the judges to examine. If you are targeting a reasonably common computer and using generally available tools, then you are welcome to supply build instructions so the judges can try to execute your code. If your target is portable you may be able to demonstrate the code running.

Judging will take place in January and February. To help plan the work of the judges we'd like you to register your interest in advance. The competition is open to everyone. Entries must be submitted in one of English, French, Dutch or German. Please register as soon as possible using the contact information below.

Your entry should reach us by the end of the seventh of January, 2002. We would like to publish the best entries. Please make clear when you submit the entry whether it may be published and under what terms. By default the GNU Public License will be assumed if none is mentioned.

The judges will be members of or appointed by the Ada-Belgium board. The judges decisions are final. The judges will not enter into correspondence regarding their decisions.

Ada-Belgium reserves the right to award additional prizes.
Funds were already made available by the sponsors for this purpose.
