DENVER — The Colorado Secretary of State has announced 10 finalist teams for the statewide Go Code Colorado business-app competition this May.

Two teams from five Challenge Weekend events in five cities — Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Denver, Durango and Grand Junction — will participate in Go Code Colorado’s expenses-paid mentorship weekend April 21-23 in Boulder, then compete in the final competition on May 24.

“Each year, Go Code Colorado participation and enthusiasm increases across the state,” Wayne Williams, Colorado secretary of state, said in a prepared statement. “The high-caliber app and business concepts created during challenge weekend will further encourage government entities of all sizes to make their data available to developers and entrepreneurs so its inherent value can be fully utilized.”
