The seventh iteration of the world’s best development competion began February 1 and goes until May 31. What’s at stake? $65,000 USD in prizes for members of the Atlassian ecosystem, both new and old. This time, we’re giving out a prize for each month of the contest.

So what am I building? An add-on for an Atlassian product that will live in the Atlassian Marketplace. What’s an add-on? Add-ons are plugins, integrations, extensions, web apps, mobile apps, CLI tools, and more for Atlassian’s tools–JIRA, Confluence, Stash, Bamboo, and more. If it uses an Atlassian product API, it’s eligible. Make money in the Atlassian Marketplace The Atlassian Marketplace is a one-stop shop for Atlassian customers to browse, try, and buy add-ons for JIRA, Confluence, Stash, Bamboo, and more. Through the Marketplace, you can sell and market your add-on to 25,000 Atlassian customers. In less than than seven months, the Marketplace has paid out $3 million to developers. Over and over, companies like Tempo, K15t and Zephyr have proven that launching a successful business on the Atlassian Marketplace is within the reach of any talented developer. How do I enter?
