Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge

New name, same long-lasting great flavor

The key to keeping an event fresh is to keep changing its name, so, what started as the F1 Overnight Website Challenge and became Sierra Bravo’s Overnight Website Challenge will from here forward become The Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge.

No, it’s not a title sponsor being fickle thing. It’s us all along, evolving. In May 2009, Sierra Bravo became what we sort of already were — the go-to web partners (nerds) of ad and design agencies nationwide. We are Nerdery Interactive Labs, a division of Sierra Bravo Corporation.

The Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge, our signature community-outreach event, will be back for a third helping on February 27-28, 2010. To find out how to get involved, keep an eye on this website, our blog, or follow us on Twitter (either @webchallenge or @the_nerdery).

And the winners are!

The second coming of the Overnight Website Challenge is in the books. Hit rewind at the Inside the Nerdery blog or follow the buzz on Twitter (#webchallenge, @the_nerdery or @webchallenge )

Congrats and thanks to all volunteers, nonprofits and event supporters. Pressed to pick the team having best delivered the goods, the judges chose District 202’s web development team: Praxis (comprised of people from Colle+McVoy and a Sierra Bravo ringer). Good work, and good deeds, indeed. Thank you all.

One part nerd Olympics, one part community service project and one part race-against-the-clock — Sierra Bravo’s Overnight Website Challenge paired deserving Minnesota non-profits with teams of talented web developers for 24 hours of fun collaboration culminating in a fully operational website for these nonprofits:
