Make it happen and you might win a prize. Competition details: While we want you to develop an application however you see fit, we imagine entries will fall into three rough classes. None of these are required in an entry and they are independent of the judging criteria: 1. Uses of the basic O'Reilly book and author data, such as building a different UI to books and authors. 2. Interesting data added to the Fluidinfo book and/or author objects. Entries in this class would not build applications. 3. Mashups of original and new data: add to the original data, and write an application that combines both in a provocative way. Judges Entries will be judged by Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly editor Mike Loukides, and O'Reilly GM Joe Wikert. Prizes In total, three prizes will be awarded: 1st prize: An OSCON package that includes a full conference pass, coach airfare from within the US, and 4 nights hotel accommodation. 2nd prize: Choice of either one 3G iPad 2 64GB or one Xoom tablet 32GB (second prize includes device only, no wireless service is included). 3rd prize: $500 worth of O'Reilly ebooks and/or videos; selection to be at third prize winner's discretion. Deadline The competition opens today (12:01 a.m. Pacific, March 21, 2011) and runs until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific) April 10, 2011. Winners will be announced on Radar on or around May 1, 2011. Restrictions Employees of O'Reilly Media and Fluidinfo are not eligible to enter the competition.
