Got invited to a new contest for a prize of Ł5k although I'm not entering this one. Money's tempting, but the rules are too annoying. The idea is to make an application to aid student education but your idea isn't allowed to clash with any of the existing 90~ or so applications that the sponsor has commercially published already. Personally I have no patience to deal with that, plus I want freedom in my development. They will pretty much claim ownership of the application if you win, too.
I have an idea for the application anyway and I'm going to start on it over the Summer. If it obtains the same standard as required in order to win that contest then who knows, might earn something from it :p
They are basically giving you 5K for a good idea, get on that, use your earnings to fund a new program, and become lead programmer for them! D:<
