This contest has ended, but you can join our current contest.

Take the Nexmo Challenge this month, and show off your developer skills by building something awesome with Nexmo's powerful APIs. Mobile applications, hardware projects, web based service - they're all on the table this month. 

The only requirement is to use our Verify API in some way. Verify is our no-hassle phone verification solution that makes it ridiculously simple to add a second factor to login, or ensure a user is providing their own number during signup. It can also add an extra layer of validation to important transactions, or be a part of an account or password recovery workflow. 

If you're an Android developer, this is the perfect opportunity to give our Android Verify SDK a spin. Take a look at the beta on github, then send post your API key (not secret) to this thread.

But you're certainly not limited to Verify. Use our SMS API to send and receive messages - alert users of events, enable SMS based commands, even protected privacy with virtual numbers. Our Voice APIs make it simple to send a message to a phone, or if your needs are more complex, build a full featured IVR using VoiceXML. Number Insight can provide information about a phone number, things like carrier, ported status, validity and more.

Of course, you probably have ideas better than those examples. Now is the time to show them off.

The submission with the best use of Nexmo's APIs will win the choice of an Xbox One, Gear VR with Galaxy Note 4 or Parrot Bebop drone. 

Need some extra credit for testing? Post your Nexmo API key (not secret) in this thread to have some added.
