First RStudio/Shiny App Contest
-------------------------------

The Rmetrics Open Source Association and RStudio is pleased to announce 
the first RStudio/Shiny App Contest.
The contest will take place during the conference.

Shiny makes it very simple for R users to turn analyses into interactive 
web applications that anyone can use.
We invite the submission of Shiny applications presenting innovations 
covering the whole spectrum of topics in finance, insurance and related 
fields.
To submit your Shiny application, first get in contact with us 
(shiny at rmetrics.org).
We will provide a Shiny Server to demo your app. The applications will 
be presented and discussed in a special session.
The Workshop participants will vote on the best app, which will be 
honored with a certificate and a prize sponsored by the
Rmetrics Association and RStudio.
