Mapquest Extends OpenAPI Mashup Contest Deadline

New contest deadline now 1 May, also open to Canadians

Recently we reported that, in celebration of thier new API, OpenAPI, Mapquest called all masters of the mashup to battle; The Mapquest OpenAPI Developer’s Challenge seeks the most innovative mashup of the new OpenAPI–not merely plotting points on a map but delivering value over and above to a non-commerical audience.

Originally the deadline was 31 March, but if you were bashing away on your mashup and the time got away from you, there’s good news; Mapquest has extended the deadline to 1 May. That’s not all, however; now Canadian mashers can play along (all Canada, that is, execpt for Québec).

Prizes are still $1,000 cash and a trip to O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 Conference where the lucky winner can demo thier mashup. Revised rules are here.

Get mashing!
