I'm interested in finding either upcoming or ongoing contests, especially those that can be done remotely/online, as well as those that have a monetary incentive.

Challenge #1 - Create a service that helps people find upcoming online/remote coding challenges, especially ones with monetary incentives.

That is potentially where I'm heading with this, but I legitimately am looking for an answer to this question too. :)

Great resource, thanks! Worth noting, it looks like this only covers things like in-person Hackathons as opposed to online contests too (e.g.: Rails Rumble).

The qualification round for Google Codejam happened last Friday. I'm guessing that was what inspired this post...?

It was actually an HN post[1] about the creator of Nodewar offering 10 BTC for a contest. This combined with my desire to code lately and not having any thoughts on what to actually code, I'd like to try my hand at some contests to keep my mind fresh and perhaps try something new. :)
