Triad students, bring it on!

Just in case you wanted to ask…

The SHOPPER APP contest is open to students attending any Triad based university. (see eligibility section on the contest site for details).

However, the Devpost site is available to the public, so some students from outside the Triad area have discovered the contest site and registered. Those students have been advised of the eligibility rules that prevent them from participating in the contest.

This update was sent to clarify this eligibility constraint and address related questions.

Thank you!
