Apple notifying Swift Student Challenge winners ahead of WWDC

After announcing WWDC 2025 earlier this week, Apple is now notifying winners of this year’s Swift Student Challenge. Developers can also head to Apple’s website to check their status.

As shared by winner Dylan McDonald on social media, Apple is sending out emails to winners of the challenge that read:

Congratulations!

We’re thrilled to announce that you’ve been selected as a Swift Student Challenge 2025 winner!

In recognition of your impressive work, you’ll receive:

  • An official certificate from Apple to commemorate your achievement.
  • One year of individual membership in th Apple Developer Program.
  • An opportunity to take an App Development with Swift certification exam.
  • AirPods Max

Each year, Apple selects 350 winners for its annual Swift Student Challenge. Of those winners, 50 students are named Distinguished Winners and receive an invitation to Apple Park for WWDC. Last year, Apple surprised some winners with an opportunity to demo their app to Apple CEO Tim Cook.

From Apple’s website:

Apple is proud to support and uplift the next generation of developers, creators, and entrepreneurs with the Swift Student Challenge. The Challenge has given thousands of student developers the opportunity to showcase their creativity and coding capabilities through app playgrounds, and learn real-world skills that they can take into their careers and beyond.
