Development 2.0 - Another Mobile Application Competition

Posted by KatrinVerclas on Oct 09, 2008

There is yet another competition focused on mobile app development, this time sponsored by USAID and Netsquared. Starting on October 13, Development 2.0 will reward the innovative uses of mobile technologies for international development withup to $10,000 for the winner. While this is less than some of the other recent competitions, applicants can get advice and improve their ideas and clarify their project submissions during the entire application process on a project gallery.

A open voting process will determine the best projects, and then a jury of USAID senior staff will select the final winners. More info is here.

Other compeitions open right now:

Knight News Challenge -- $5 million awarded to digital media projects, including mobile citizen media projects;

Nokia Mobile App Competition -- $25,000 for the winner, categories include environment and emerging market;

Google Project 10 - $10 million for great ideas that make the world a better place -- and we would venture to say, mobile for good is of interest to Google...
