It has been announced that any new BlackBerry applications submitted to BlackBerry App World between June 1, 2009 and September 25, 2009 may be eligible to compete in this year’s challenge. Complete rules and regulations are available online.

A total of 16 finalists will be selected from eligible applications submitted over the contest period. The finalists will each receive a prize package valued at more than US$5,000 and be invited to compete for a grand prize package valued at over US$100,000; and a runner up prize package worth more than US$25,000. Judges will be looking for the most compelling product or service, clearly defined value proposition, and technical execution.

Do you have what it takes?  Either way, you should be submitting your applicatons to the BlackBerry App Store as you will have nothing to lose.

It’s going to be really exciting over the next few months seeing developers really putting their thoughts and ideas into BlackBerry applications.
