Apple on Thursday began notifying students who had won slots in the WWDC 2025 Swift Student Challenge, which took place from February 3 to February 23 of this year. Students who entered can sign in to Apple’s Swift Student Challenge website to see their status.
350 winners have been selected, with the winners being eligible to attend Apple’s WWDC special event at Apple Park on Monday, June 9.
Of the 350, 50 will be named Distinguished Winners and will be invited to Cupertino, California for a multi-day Apple Park event that will include the keynote meetup and additional opportunities to meet with Apple engineers and employees.
Entrants who were not chosen as Distinguished Winners can still enter Apple’s lottery for a chance to attend the in-person Apple Park event. Space is limited, and the lottery’s winners will be notified on Thursday, April 3.
Swift Student Challenge winners who are not able to attend the Apple Park event will be able to follow along with Apple’s WWDC announcements through the Apple Developer website and the Apple Developer app. Winners will also be able to enter to attend future WWDC events for the next two years.
The Swift Student Challenge takes place annually and has students create and submit an innovative coding project using Apple’s Xcode or Swift Playground. Projects are judged based on technical accomplishment, creativity of ideas, and the content of the written responses explaining the project. The winners also receive a one-year membership in the Apple Developer Program and AirPods Max headphones.
WWDC 2025 will take place from Monday, June 9 to Friday, June 13.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
