They can get the extra 250,000 USD from from the other categories. I.e. Make the 3rd prize 20k, 2nd prize 40k, 1st prize 90k and the grand prize 500,000k! Easy! And without having to add expend more money.
I know the chances of anybody winning the grand prize are slim, but at least it would be a lot more fun. It will also make for better headlines.

Not that I would complain with 250,000 USD if I won.

Does it mean there will be ADC 3? Also, note that by the new rules all open source projects are excluded ("An application that has already been made available to the public (at the time of judging) is ineligible") Peli www.openintents.org On 27 Mai, 21:34, Al Sutton <[email protected]> wrote: Also interesting is that you can only submit unpublished apss and you can not publish them before judging. I can see a number of people focusing on ADC development and the stream of apps entering the market suddenly dropping :(.
