OWASP AppSec Research 2012 announces the OWASP University Challenge! The University Challenge is a competition among teams comprised of university students that will be held on July 10-11th. During the University Challenge teams will defend a vulnerable web application while solving Capture The Flag type challenges.

This year the OWASP University Challenge will be limited to 8 teams. Teams will consist of 4-8 students, with one team per University. Team openings are on a first come first serve basis. If multiple teams are received from the same university the second team will be put on a wait list.

All team members must be registered. Registration for the University Challenge event is free. Food and beverages will be provided during the challenge and all participants will get an OWASP University Challenge t-shirt. In addition, all participants that will register for the conference will get an additional discount on top of the discounted student price (an e-mail with the discount coupon will be automatically e-mailed ). Of course, the first three winning teams will get some awesome presents (to be announced).
