We are so delighted to partner with Progress to bring the community a brand new DEV challenge.

Running through March 23, the KendoReact Free Components Challenge is all about showcasing what you can build with KendoReact's powerful free components.

From data grids to toolbars to form components and more, KendoReact offers a comprehensive suite of UI components that every React developer should experience building with. With 50+ free components available, you'll have everything you need to build an impressive application.

We have one prompt for this challenge but three ways to win. Read on to get started!
