“Pimp My App” Contest Looks to Put The Spotlight on Fox’s Fringe and San Francisco
As if the spotlight wasn’t already on one of the biggest cities in this country, AppNation, Fox, and the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau are inviting developers to create apps that will not only promote the freaky show Fringe, but San Francisco, as well. What’s in it for you? A first place cash prize of $10,000 (Fringe) should motivate you to open Eclipse and hack away at your next big creation. There’s only one problem: you’ll need to learn iOS development, as well, as they’re only taking entries for apps that are made for both Android and iOS devices.
Not into Fringe? Not a problem, indeed. You can win $2,500 for creating an awesome San Francisco-centric app that users won’t be able to refuse to download should they ever find themselves needing to visit the storied city. The app would essentially need to entice someone who’s never been or hasn’t planned to go based purely on what they see in the app.
More details can be had at their official contest page. If you Android developers don’t fancy having to learn Objective-C to code on the iOS platform, why not partner up with a dev familiar with it and split the winnings? Just some food for thought from your friendly neighborhood Phandroid!
