WHERE Developer Contest

Jenny Chowdhury

You could build a widget on the WHERE platform and get it distributed to the masses. Here are the details.

WHERE [1], a location-based platform for mobile devices, is hosting their second developer contest [2]. The call for work reads: "Build something cool on the WHERE platform, and you can win cash and major distribution opportunities."

The grand prize is $5000, a GPS handset and an opportunity to present the app to AT&T and WHERE distribution.

Judging is based on the usefulness, uniqueness and usability of the application. Last year's winner was Yokel, a location enabled shopping portal that shows consumers product availability and pricing in nearby retail stores based on their location.

Here are some important contest dates:

Registration Ends: April 28th Midnight ET (GMT -5)

Semi-final Judging: April 29th (on or around)

Final Judging: May 12th (on or around)
