The Lisp In Summer Projects (LISP) organizers are happy thank our
generous sponsors who are awarding FOUR new $500 prizes!

In addition to support from LispNYC and the Association of Lisp Users,
both Genworks International and Jane Street are each supporting several
prizes:

* Genworks International provides a general purpose declarative Language
(GDL), for creating web-centric knowledge based engineering and business
applications. Genworks also authors The Gendl Project for high-level
declarative, object-oriented problem solving, including but not limited
to the ability to generate and manipulate 3D geometry.

* Jane Street is a technologically intense trading firm. With functional
programming playing an essential role in everything, it is as much a
technology company as a trading firm. Join Jane Street today!


We are also pleased to announce a truly incredible lineup of judges for
the competition.

Judging the competition is an international panel of academic and
industrial experts in the fields of artificial intelligence,
mathematics, functional programming, LISP and language development.

The Finalist Judges, hailing from IBM, Google, Northeastern University,
University of Paris, Kyoto University and Clojure will ultimately
determine the prize winners. Some of the judges are the actual authors
of the technologies underlying this competition and are established
leaders in the field as well. We are both thankful and honored by their
participation.

The language and coding expert judges are recognized leaders in their
respective fields. They have authored dozens of books and combined,
posses hundreds of instructional and industrial years of experience.

As a reminder please note that the competition ends at the end of
September. Due to overwhelming demand, judging will take place
throughout the month of October and early November. Prizes and awards
will be announced early December.
