The rapid growth of the digital sector in the Arab region is leading to a surge in demand for top-tier web and mobile developers. Hiring the best has become a priority to be able to build a successful digital company across sectors, from media to advertising to e-commerce.

ArabNet bridges this gap between companies and talented developers in the ArabNet Developer Tournament 2013 – 2014, a regional competition to identify the best web and mobile developers in the Middle East.

After the success of the first edition, with hundreds of developers participating across the region, the tournament returns to gather top coders across 6 Arab countries: Lebanon, Jordan, KSA, Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE.

This year the tournament caters to the needs of web and mobile developers at three levels: giving them the opportunity to test their coding skills, advance in their career and learn the latest technologies in web and mobile development.

The heart of the Tournament is the competition: 3 rounds of 1-on-1 challenges that will test developers on different skill sets: Speed, Creativity and Competency. The top 4 winners will receive cash prizes and the opportunity to represent their country at the Championship, taking place at the ArabNet Dubai Digital Summit in May 2014.

The tournament also introduces two new features to complement and enrich the competition. First, the Job fair connects developers with local and regional companies looking for technical talent, with multiple opportunities to either join their team, or collaborate on freelance projects.

Second, the event will feature a Code Lab, a series of hands-on technical training sessions led by experts from development agencies, to help developers hone their skills and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies. Workshops will cover topics ranging from mobile and game development, to usability and user interface design.

The tournament will kick off in Lebanon on October 26, where the local round will be hosted by Beirut Creative Cluster and with the sponsorship of touch Lebanon.

Online registration is open to all web and mobile developers who are interested to spend a day competing, advancing their careers, honing their skills and connecting with other like-minded developers.
