Google's Launches 2nd Android Developer Contest 26
coffeeisclassy writes "Google's second Android Developer Contest (ADC2) has started, despite some confusion around how to submit applications. The prizes are different from the first ADC, with each category having prizes of 100k, 50k, and 25k and an overall best of 150k,50k and 25k, meaning the best Android application from ADC2 is eligible for ~250k. The rules seem to allow any application never published before August 1st to compete, and the contest is open through the end of August (so break out your keyboards!). The top prizes are certainly less than that of first ADC, but with the prizes broken down by category, Google may be hoping to inspire some love for less popular categories."

Hard to say. The linked page says the contest was announced on May 27th, however, the full rules were only released on July 13th. A really dedicated group with a strong vision could have had several months to work on this, but most people are probably just starting up.
For the chunk of change they're talking about though, I'm sure a few people may be willing to put things on hold for a month in order to get something good out. Could also be a great job app if you want to work for Google.
