| 2 | + |
| 3 | +> KaiCode is an annual open source festival that rewards young and emerging |
| 4 | + GitHub repositories for the quality of their code and development processes. |
| 5 | + It started in 2015 and runs once a year. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Everybody is welcome to submit. |
| 8 | +There is no fee, no invitation, and no shortlist of favored languages or |
| 9 | + ecosystems. |
| 10 | +You submit a repository through a public form, our jury reviews it, and if it |
| 11 | + wins you receive a monetary reward and a laurel badge for your README file. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +To enter, a repository must be hosted on GitHub, be larger than 4,000 SLOC, be |
| 14 | + older than 12 months and younger than 60 months since its first commit, and |
| 15 | + must not have won KaiCode before. |
| 16 | +One GitHub user may submit only one project. |
| 17 | +Jury members and festival organizers may not submit their own projects. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The jury judges clean code, design choices, coding conventions, static |
| 20 | + analysis, unit and integration testing, code coverage, requirements, |
| 21 | + documentation, Git branching, bug and issue tracking, code reviews, |
| 22 | + continuous integration, releases and semantic versioning, and licensing. |
| 23 | +Popularity, programming language, license, and paradigm do not matter. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Rewards are given in three nominations: Perfect Product ($2,048), Excellent |
| 26 | + Product ($1,024), and Awesome Product ($512), paid in Bitcoin or ERC20 USDT. |
