14 yr old boy wins state wide competition

[Frogman]

The NSW government recently held a competition called Apps4nsw where the aim was to create a concept or actual app (for iphone) to help out tourists and local residents.

apps4nsw is an ideas and development competition aimed at stimulating innovative and beneficial use of NSW information.

Governments are great at creating information and data sets on citizens’ behalf. The community, individuals and private operators are often better able to present information in new and interesting ways.

You are invited to submit software application prototypes or ideas that unlock the potential of NSW information. However, you must be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident to claim a prize.

The total Prize Pool was $100000 AUD (roughly 815000 USD) and the award for best idea came to a young boy from Newcastle and out of over 300 ideas state wide competing against kids and adults alike he won.
Though the idea cant be revealed as of yet for copyright reasons i can tell you who won

(yours truly)

and i won $3000

Good job.

 

[Thoob]

Well done! I don't understand how you only won $3,000 out of the $100,000 pool? Don't you mean $10,000?

 

[tj_cool]

You probably mean 10,000, not 100,000
Also, 100,000 AUD = only 81,760 USD

What!? I live in England and there's a New Castle here, so when you said New Castle I thought of England.

Just ignore what I said.

There's more than one Newcastle in the world

It's a bit like Birmingham is in Alabama and Manchester is in New Hampshire.
