Competition Apps4Russia 2013 - open data on which you can earn money
Friends, we finally announced a contest for developers Apps4Russia which we have been holding for the third year already and this year we came to the conclusion that it was much more, better even more useful for citizens and for developers and for all who are interested in open data. Since I don’t want to speak the language of press releases, I’ll tell you about the contest as it is.
The competition promotes standards of work with open data, contributes to the creation and development of public, managerial and business projects. The Apps4Russia contest has been held annually since 2011 and has already become a platform for the exchange of valuable ideas and meaningful communication between talented Russian developers, leading experts in the field of WEB-development and investors.
The Apps4Russia contest is based on publicly disclosed data by the authorities. You can take any database or several of them, come up with an interesting idea of how to show or use them, and thus create an interesting product for society.

Google Nomination:
An application using Google technologies and services.
Information about the technologies for the developers.
Nomination Yandex:
• Premium Yandex.API .
Awarded for the best application developed on the basis of open data using the Yandex API.
This year we have two general sponsors. This is Yandex and their nomination Yandex.API
and Google with a nomination for using their services
And a lot of other partners including the Open Government .
Everything is on the contest website.
Firstly for the reason that you have nothing to lose, especially if you are already doing or have planned a project that uses open data. The peculiarity of our competition is that the prize in it is a prize. All that you have developed - remains with you. You do not give the code to anyone (unless you decide to use from the very beginning)
But there are a lot of them:
- http://hub.opengovdata.ru - our Hub of open data
- http: //ar.gov.rul is the aggregator of official data on the administrative reform website (Ministry of Economic Development of Russia)
- data.mos.ru - Moscow open data portal
- Krasnodar krd.ru/opendata/ and Zelenograd data.zelao.ru/
And many more and many different. If you decide to do a project and you can’t find any data - write me on ibegtin (dog) infoculture.ru or comment here - and I will try to help you.
Then visit our Ideas section at http://www.apps4russia.ru/ru/contest/ideas/ where you can offer your idea to others and increase the chances that it will be implemented.
Remember - you can participate in many categories. You don’t have to be submitted for only one thing - you can make a mobile application for protecting the rights of citizens and using Yandex cards. And go immediately to 3 nominations.
Well, add the last. We started this competition in 2011 by trying to convince our officials that there are developers in Russia who are ready to create projects on state data. In response, we heard, at best, that they are not. And in 2011 we announced this competition ourselves - without large budgets, with one nomination without noisy promotion, just as it is and in order to check whether it will work. It turned out and thanks to this we hold it from year to year. This year there are more nominations, and we very much hope that there will be more projects.
I invite everyone to participate!
