Welcome
The Google Highly Open Participation Contest, Google's first contest to introduce pre-university students to the many contributions that make open source software development possible, concluded on February 4, 2008. We had nearly 400 students worldwide to produce a variety of open source code, documentation, training materials and user experience research for the ten participating organizations listed here. You can check out actual work submitted by student contestants by clicking on the results link next to a project's name on the right.
All student contestants and any interested parties should stay tuned to the Google Open Source Blog and subscribe to the contest announcement list for updates on how to claim prizes and more news about the contest's results.
Congratulations to our Grand Prize Winners!
All ten free/open source projects have chosen a Grand Prize Winner from among all of their student contestants. Each winner will receive a trip to Google's Headquarters in Mountain View, California, U.S.A. for an awards ceremony later this year. You can learn more about each Grand Prize Winner and why they were chosen by their organization on our Grand Prize Winners Page.
