AT&T is offering a total of $25,000 in its “Power Your Future” mobile app development contest, which is focused on discovering apps that deliver an environmental or energy efficient benefit.
The winner and first runner-up will be awarded $20,000 and $5,000, respectively, and winning applications will be promoted in AT&T retail stores across the country and could potentially be preloaded on future AT&T smartphones.
The contest began on August 1 and applications will be accepted until September 28 on the contest’s homepage. Entrants may submit up to five applications for consideration. Once eight finalists are chosen, a public vote will begin on October 11.
On top of the prize money and possibly being preloaded on future AT&T smartphones, the winner will also receive airfare and lodging to be honored at the 2012 AT&T Developer Summit in Las Vegas in January.
AT&T recently ran another app development contest for social good in partnership with One Economy. Applications for Good challenged developers to create apps for low-income Americans to help them get educated, find jobs, get healthy and manage their finances.
