NYC Launches Contest for Internet Apps

[gary]

NYC has unveiled a contest for software developers and members of the public to create Web or mobile applications using recently released city data. For the project, the Mayor Bloomberg administration partnered with 30-plus city agencies to release more than 170 data sets, including information on city landmarks, Census figures and restaurant inspection results. The goal: for developers to build applications that will make life a little bit easier for city residents, visitors and businesses. The contest is open for individuals and there's $20,000 in cash prizes available.
