Andela, the global marketplace for remote technical talent, has partnered HackerEarth to launch applications for the EPIC Tournament which is a game of two halves: a coding challenge and a hackathon.
The first half is the two-week coding challenge powered by Andela, where participants form talented teams or work individually to share their coding skills with the world.
Then 16 lucky winning teams or individuals will move on to the second half; The Remote Work Force Hackathon, where they will have ten days to build a unique solution to help remote workers around the world – and the chance to win the Epic Code Tournament!
The 16 teams will then present their solutions to a panel of industry experts and technology leaders to compete for three cash prizes.
