Celebrating Freelance Community Members

Topcoder is hosting an exciting event for freelancers - The 2021 Topcoder Open, and we asked to provide more details about what to expect.

A Community is only as good as its community members. The Topcoder community may be 1.6
million members strong, but the true core and heart of the community lies with our Topcoder
Open (TCO) events.
What is Topcoder Open?
The TCO is Topcoder's largest incentive program and celebration for all community members. Every competition and freelance gig opportunity at Topcoder gives members the chance to earn points.

At the end of each quarter, the top point earners win a trip to the TCO Finals for a live competition and large grand prizes. The chance to become a TCO champion in Design, Development, QA, and Competitive Programming, gives the members the hope for a $10,000 cash prize, but also a pretty substantial brag for their professional profile.

This year, the virtual TCO21 Finals takes place November 13 - 20 2021 and is open to all. There will be a live broadcast so anyone can view the competitions and hear the commentary from the experts. Spectator sport coding and design sounds different but it's pretty intense. The Topcoder community members are legends in their craft and superstars in the coding and design worlds. It's the perfect opportunity to check out something new. Find the details and registration information here.
