Google Cloud NEXT Writing Challenge - DEV Challenge — DEV Community

DEV Community launched a live writing challenge tied to Google Cloud NEXT ’26, running April 22–29, 2026.

Developers can submit one original post based on keynotes, sessions, announcements, or hands-on experiments from the conference.

Five winners will receive $200, DEV++ membership, and a winner badge; all valid entries earn a completion badge.
