We are thrilled to announce Sucuri‘s sponsorship of Plugin-A-Palooza. If you missed the first post about this new event at WordCamp Orange County, we are hosting a plugin building contest. Details are below on how to enter, but first, allow us to pique your interest in entering with our fabulous prizes provided by Sucuri.

First Place

• $500 cash
• 1 Sucuri Business (VIP) license. Retail value: $499.99

Second Place

• $250 cash
• 1 Sucuri Business (VIP) license. Retail value: $499.99

In light of Sucuri donating the prizes, we are also extending the deadline to enter until March 1.

To enter:

• Send us your pitch for the type of plugin you’d like to build. Deadline for pitches is March 1.
• We’ll confirm your entry into the competition after reviewing these pitches. There is room for 10 teams to compete.
• Each team member can only be on one team in the competition. At least one member of the team must be an attendee of WordCamp Orange County!
• Build your plugin!
• The plugin MUST be able to be released in the WordPress repository – in fact, it must be there by May 29. So you’re going to need to submit them to WordPress plugin review no later than May 15th in order to get them approved. This means the plugin has to be completely GPL compliant.
• The top teams will present their plugins on Sunday, June 7th at WordCamp.
• Our judges will vote live at the event and we’ll announce the winner and runner up.
• No shenanigans!

Many thanks to Sucuri for everything they do for the WordPress community. Now get entering!
