Apps for Democracy
for the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Technology Officer
There's $20,000 worth of cash prizes up for grabs.
You can submit as many apps as you can crank out! The more you build the more
chances you have to win.
Who:
Talented technologists and creatives battling it out to see who can create the
most useful applications from DC's Data Catalog a resource that has tons
of open data feeds including most recent roadkill pickups! Sweet!
We've divided the contest in two one prize pool will be awarded to
agencies and one will be awarded to independent developers/designers. This is a
good way to level the playing field and to provide twice the amount of awards!
Check out the prize structure here.
For Agencies:
If you're running/working for a digital agency that builds technology
solutions for your clients, then this is a contest you'll want to submit to
and win. We're going to promote the contest far and wide, and the bragging
rights you'll gain will no doubt drive new business - and serve as a great
morale builder for your talented team. If you're a big shop, put a few teams
together and you'll have a number of chances to win accolades and cash...is
it possible for one agency to sweep this thing?
For Independents:
This contest was created with you in mind. We're going to reward you
financially and with public recognition for your talents. Since you're an
independent, you might need to find some other people to work with (perhaps you
need a front end designer, or a back-end developer or something else), so the
Open Innovation Labs have been setup to give you a place to do that.
