Open Screen Project Fund

In the Calling All Innovators “Flash” category, there’s also an additional special prize of $10,000 USD for one application that has also received money from the Open Screen Project Fund this year. Basically, that means a chance to double-up on prize money for a Flash application … hey, it’s like summer sweepstakes!

The $10 million Open Screen Project Fund awards funding to developers who are creating applications and services for mobile, desktop and consumer electronics devices using the Adobe Flash® Platform. Initial areas for funding include applications focusing on: entertainment; social networking; productivity; gaming; and news & information.

Developers who want to submit their Flash application to the Open Screen Project fund can learn more at: http://www.openscreenproject.org/developers/get_started.html.

Then, they can go to the Calling All Innovators Flash category page at http://www.callingallinnovators.com/flash.aspx and submit the same application there for a possible additional $10K in Calling All Innovators prize money.
