Android Developer Challenge 2 announced by Google
Google has just announced the Android Developer Challenge 2 (ADC 2), the second edition of the competition that should (and will) bring new and cool applications for the Android OS – which has now reached version 1.5.
Participants can develop apps, evaluate/score others’ apps, or both.
The ADC 2 will debut in August, when developers will be able to submit their applications. These applications will be ‘judged’ by users who have access to Android Market, via a special ADC 2 app that lets them download, test and rate the submissions.
There will be 20 finalist applications, for 10 distinct categories:
- Education/Reference
- Social Networking
- Lifestyle
- Productivity/Tools
- Entertainment
- Games: Casual/Puzzle
- Games: Arcade/Action
- Media
- Travel
- Misc
Winners will be announced in mid-November 2009.
The prizes for each of ADC 2’s ten categories are as follows:
- 1st prize: $100,000
- 2nd prize: $50,000
- 3rd prize: $25,000
Also, there will be three overall winners:
- 1st prize: $150,000
- 2nd prize: $50,000
- 3rd prize: $25,000
