ABOUT THE CHALLENGE:
The Civic Data Challenge (
www.CivicDataChallenge.org) turns the raw data
of civic health into useful applications and visualizations that have
direct impact on public decision-making.
Through the Challenge, participants will bring new minds and skill sets to
the field of civic health, with the purpose of making data-driven community
insights more valuable and accessible. All entries must be thoughtfully
informed by Civic Health data (
http://www.civicdatachallenge.com/data/civic-health-data).
In order to achieve an exceptional level of real-world usefulness,
designers, data scientists, researchers, and application developers will
collaborate with local leaders and respond to the needs of specific
communities or social issues.
Entries are due *July 28, 2013*. Participants are competing for exciting
prizes including speaking engagements, conference passes, gadgets, and
cash. You can read the latest prize announcement here:

If you recall last year I shared it widely when I found out about it. But
that was late and contributed to you extending the deadline.
I'd be glad to give it some attention, but I need a simple text only
description with some "what's it about" bullets to share with exposed links.
