Contest Brief

BACKGROUND

Christmas is around the corner! It's a season of opening. Opening presents. Opening hearts. Opening APIs!

Our company has recently opened up an an internal API called the Directory Services API!

It centralises both People and Projects associated with our company in the one place. It provides a base foundation for building apps which will allow us to connect and collaborate with each other in new ways. We've spent the last six months building it and now we are looking for people to test it out! We thought a great way of doing this would be holding a contest with the mighty freelancer community to build an app!

Keeping the Christmas spirt alive your invited to create an app which uses our new API. The app should have a theme of helping remote teams celebrate Christmas. There winner will be the entry which is the most creative entry and also has solid technical intergration of the Directory Services API.

Technology wise you can use whatever you like and knowing basic JavaScript is all you need.
