InterSystems Grand Prix is our annual programming contest to find the best application that uses InterSystems IRIS. We welcome applications on any topic!

Present any application which uses InterSystems IRIS as a backend (API or database) with any kind of InterSystems IRIS API or data model.

You are welcome to improve your applications that you presented in the InterSystems contest series last year and submit them for the Grand Prix. And you are welcome to submit a 100% new application.

General Requirements:

• Accepted applications: new to Open Exchange apps or existing ones, but with a significant improvement. Our team will review all applications before approving them for the contest.
• The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition. Both could be downloaded as host (Mac, Windows) versions from the Evaluation site, or can be used in a form of containers pulled from InterSystems Container Registry or Community Containers: intersystemsdc/iris-community:latest or intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:latest .
• The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.
• The README file to the application should be in English, contain the installation steps, and contain either the video demo or/and a description of how the application works.
• Only 3 submissions from one developer are allowed.
