Apps·4·Edmonton

F.A.Q.

How will the winners be chosen?

We are in the process of determining an expert judging panel comprised of both City of Edmonton and community representatives.

Judges will make their selections based on the following criteria:

Accessibility – ability for the application to be used by a broad array of citizens
Usability - usefulness and utility to citizens overall, or any particular demographic of users
Creativity - originality, uniqueness and inventive nature of the application
Number of community votes received

All criteria is weighted evenly.

What do the different contest categories mean? What, specifically, will qualify my app for it? Can my app be eligible for more than one category?

Edmonton’s City Council recently developed a new City Vision -a creative description of our City’s future that will help to set direction, guide decisions and align the priorities of the City of Edmonton. The City Vision paints a picture of how we imagine our city will look in 2040. These have been broken down into six strategic plans that deal with all things municipal.

Inspired by this vision, and the important role that residents play in making our vision come to fruition we have decided to create contest categories accordingly.

The Way We Live - how we aim to create a more liveable city
The Way We Grow - the City's strategic land use plan
The Way We Green - a blueprint for being an environmental leader
The Way We Move - a look at how the City will address future transportation needs
The Way We Plan - how we approach municipal planning
The Way We Prosper - this is anything and everything money related

If you feel that your app speaks to one or more of these plans, then check off the appropriate box(es) when submitting your app.

For more information about the strategic plans please visit http://edmonton.ca/transformingedmonton

What is a Proposal?

It's important for this contest to engage beyond the web development community. We need everyone's ideas on how we can leverage technology to make Edmonton an increasingly liveable city. So, we wanted this contest to be open to everyone. However, it's hard to judge ideas. They are all good! So what we've decided to do is reward you for taking the time to submit an idea. If you have a proposal for an app, but don't know how to build it, tell us anyway. If you do, you will be entered into a random draw to win an iPad.

Is my app eligible if it also uses commercial data?

As long as the commercial data is publicly available then you can feel free to use it.

How do I submit my ideas and application to the Challenge?

You will need to complete the form provided and include your first and last name, company name (if applicable), city, province, postal code, and e-mail address.

Does my application need to work after the competition?

Yes, in order for there to be real value for residents all applications submitted to this contest must be made publicly accessible for a period of six months after the contest entry deadline.

Once I submit my application, does the City of Edmonton own my app, or do I?

We want you to prosper from your creation. Application developers retain ownership rights of their submitted applications and are permitted to sell the use of their applications commercially if they choose to do so.

Can I enter more than one idea or application to the contest?

Yes, we want to see all your ideas!

Who is eligible?

As long as you are a resident of Alberta and over the age of 18 you're eligible.

Can I enter as a team?

Yes, team work fosters creativity. Prize money will have to be shared with your team mates.

If my idea or app was largely developed years ago, can it qualify for this competition?

Yes, as long as it benefits Edmontonians, you are free to incorporate code that you have built/started/ launched in the past.

I am not a resident, can I enter?

Yes, if you are a resident of Alberta, but not of Edmonton, you are still eligible.

What happens if I want to make changes to my submission?

Your app will be hosted on third-party site you've set up. Feel free to change the app through the course of the competition. Just remembered that you will be judged on the app that exits at the close of the competition (11:59:59 a.m. MDT on Friday, August 27, 2010).
