World Bank launches global "Apps4Development" challenge

[Chipo]

Hope all are well this Friday afternoon. Stumbled upon this little gem and thought "can't hurt to share".

 

The World Bank is running a "Apps4Development" global competition. Excerpt from the site:

"The Competition challenges participants to develop software applications related to one or more of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Submissions may be any kind of software application, be it for the web, a personal computer, a mobile handheld device, console, SMS, or any software platform broadly available to the public. The only other requirement is that the proposed application use one or more datasets from the World Bank Data Catalog available at data.worldbank.org."

 

Prizes: A variety that amounts to $45,000

 

Deadline: Next 3 mths

If not relevant to you perhaps you know someone who would find this information interesting.

Cheers,
