Washington, DC - Have you heard about our latest robocalls challenges? The FTC is participating in this year’s National Day of Civic Hacking and wants you to DetectaRobo on June 6! The agency is also headed back to DEF CON this year for Robocalls: Humanity Strikes Back. Submissions – and your chance at the $25,000 top prize – are due on June 15. Check out the contest links above for more information about them including official rules.

If you're on Twitter, please follow @FTC and join our after-hours Twitter Town Hall on April 16, 2015 at 9:00 p.m. ET to discuss both FTC robocall contests. The hashtag for our robocall discussions is #DefeatRobocalls.
