Miami App Developers: Sprint wants to give you money
I got an email from the awesome Crystal Davis over at Sprint, and she asked me to encourage local app developers to enter to the Sprint 4G App Challenge.
The contest is running through Nov. 5, and the prizes are pretty sweet. Top submitters in each of five categories – entertainment, gaming, productivity, social networking and multimedia – can win:
· A $50,000 grand prize, an HTC EVO™ 4G with one-year of Sprint service (includes applicable taxes and surcharges).
· One-year membership to the Sprint Professional Developer Program (including 250 hours in the Virtual Developer Lab).
· An invitation to WIRED’s VIP party during the 2011 International CES in Las Vegas.
To register for the contest and access rules, regulations and additional information developers can visit www.sprint.com/appchallenge.
"Submissions will be scored based on four criteria – creativity, intuitive navigation, functionality and design. The panel of judges will comprise product and technology executives from Sprint, editors from WIRED and its partners at Reddit and Ars Technica. Finalists in each category will have their apps showcased at the WIRED Store, an interactive shop and gallery in New York, on Dec. 16, during which winners will be announced," she wrote.
Go for it!
