3. How to enter - Application requirements

Developers must develop one or more application imperatively using the Jamendo API version 3 (https://api.jamendo.com/v3.0), which means that all API calls must be made through v3.0.

The application and any technology used, including software installed on any server used by the application, must be open source, and published under any open source license listed on opensource.org.

The application must be originally developed or implemented and must not violate or infringe on any applicable law or regulation or third-party rights.

The application must respect the provisions of the Jamendo API Terms of Use and these Rules.

The application source code must be imperatively published on GitHub by forking the Jamendo repository. Groups of developers have to open an organization account on GitHub and all members of the group must be part of that organization.

In order to “submit” the application, developers must create a tag called “final” and put the final version of the source in that tag.Only the version tagged “final” will be reviewed for the Contest.

The application must be published on GitHub and submitted to the Jamendo team between April 11, 2013 and June 9, 2013 at midnight (UTC+2). Applications submitted after this date will not be accepted.

Publishing the application in an official application store (only when applicable, i.e. iOS, Android, etc. applications) is not a requirement for this Contest. However, developers must be aware that the lack of such publication may prevent the Jamendo community from testing the application in order to vote for the Community Award. It is the developer’s responsibility to publish the application early enough to make it publicly available during the voting period. Jamendo may not be held responsible for any delay or loss of chance to participate in the Contest if the application is not published on such application store.

Jamendo reserves the right to reject any application that does not comply with these Rules, violates or infringes on any applicable law or regulation or third-party rights, or in any other circumstances as determined by Jamendo at its sole discretion.
