Jazoon Rookie - Young Java Developers Can Win A Trip to Zurich!

Earlier this week, I blogged about the Java FX Coding Challenge and special categories for students. Today, I'm happy to promote another great opportunity that has opened up for student developers.

Jazoon09 is a great Java developer event and will take place in Zurich, Switzerland from 22 to 25 June 2009. Jazoon Rookie is billed as Europe's first Young Java Developer Speaker's Competition. Students compete for the opportunity to deliver a 20 minute technical talk at Jazoon09 with their conference fees and travel expenses paid via the competition.

To enter the competition, students must record a part of their talk on video and submit it by 23 April 2009. The top 3 Jazoon Rookies will be invited to Jazoon'09, where they present their 20 minutes talk and compete for the Jazoon Rookie Cup.

Special thanks to the conference organizers for extending the Jazoon Rookie submission deadline so that OSUM members could participate in the competition.

Thank you all for your great feedback and emails, we are looking forward receiving many Jazoon Rookie submissions.

We also have been asked how much a regular student ticket costs: it is only EUR 95 for the 3-days conference pass (including all food & beverage!). More information here:

Jazoon Rookie is open for anybody from the entire world, as the only submission criteria is that the submiter has to be under 26.
We brand Jazoon as the European conference because it is 3 weeks after JavaOne and we will have all latest news from SF for the first time in Europe.
I hope that many of you will participate! Good luck.
