The first winners of the Telegram BotPrize will receive $ 200,000
In the spring of 2016, Telegram announced a developer incentive program called BotPrize with a prize pool of $ 1,000,000.
The initiative is designed to stimulate the development of bots working on the Telegram platform and thereby contribute to the popularization of the messenger and increase the loyalty and involvement of users. A good marketing move that allowed you to get a lot of free PR and bring the vision of "Telegram as a platform" to the developers.
For many, including me, this was an additional incentive to start developing a bot. All the same, I still wanted to try, and hope to get $ 25,000 - $ 50,000 USD made the development process much more interesting.

And on November 11, the first winners were announced who in total will receive more than $ 200,000 USD ! This is an average of $ 40,000 per bot.
Unfortunately, my DebtsTracker.io bot has not yet won the awards . The more interesting to look at the winners-competitors.

By the way, it’s still not too late to apply for the prize and for your bot - the deadline for submission is December 31, 2016 . Extra money and free PR still did not bother anyone.
