Apps for Democracy has ended. Contestants were asked to create applications that would be useful to the government and people of Washington DC.
Results include:
47 applications that were built in 30 days
OCTO has estimated the value of these submissions at $2,000,000+ including external contracting costs and internal procurement time
The cost to OCTO was $50,000 including prizes, marketing, management etc. representing an estimated 4,000% return on investment
OCTO has estimated that it would have taken them 1-2 years to complete the procurement process and receive delivery of applications like these under their legacy procurement method
iPhone apps, Facebook apps, web apps, mobile apps, maps mash-ups and a wiki were entered
