On the heels of the Sunlight Foundation's "Apps For America" and the Washington, D.C. government's "Apps For Democracy" contests, the Consumer Electronics Association on Wednesday unveiled its own challenge for Web heads called "Apps For Innovation." Submissions to the high-tech trade group's competition will be judged by a panel of experts (Center for Democracy and Technology's Leslie Harris, pollster John Zogby and others). The grand prize winner will receive $10,000 and a free trip to the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Jan. 7-10.
The apps contest is part of the group's broader grassroots movement to mobilize Americans in support of public policies such as broadband, alternative energies and international trade, will encourage software developers to deploy apps that illuminate how innovation and entrepreneurial activity are at work across America. One example is an app that uses publicly available FCC broadband data and Internet mapping tools to show the need for high-speed Internet access in rural areas, CEA said. The contest is open to apps for any type of device or any type of Web platform.
