August Competition Winners

Two Runner-Up Winners Announced for August Competition

We received some very promising submissions in August. Here are our two runner-up winners who earned $500 each.

Foursquare Application (Author, Bill Cauchois)

Project: This foursquare application extracts trending data from foursquare.
Benefits: This project provides a single service, and would be an excellent component to a larger project.

MailChimp Application (Author, BJ Terry)

Project: This tutorial will help users build packages to interface with RESTful JSON APIs. For the sake of the tutorial, the author implements an interface for the Mailchimp API, which allows developers to manage e-mail marketing mailing lists.
Benefits: This project also provides a single service, and would be an excellent component to a larger project.

Thank you to our August competition winners. Keep up the great work, and enjoy the play money. Visit our Winners page for more information on the August winners and a sample of what we're seeking for top prize entries. The September competition is now in full swing. Keep them coming and start earning money for what you love to do anyway!
