Win a share of the profits for your winning software concept

Jonny Evans

Tydeus Software today announced the Tydeus Software Concept Competition, with up to one million dollars available to the winning concept.

"We have the resources necessary to create and market a great new software application, but all our software industry insiders keep coming up with the same stale ideas over and over. So we are holding a competition to find a fresh one," company CEO Andrew Tomazos informs.

"The winning software concept will be developed into a commercial software product and released to the public. The winning entrant will receive as much as a one million US dollar share in product sales, all for simply writing down a 300 word pitch," Tomazos said.

The winner of the Tydeus Software Concept Competition will receive 10 per cent of the first 1 million US dollars in sales, and 1 per cent of the next 90 million US dollars in sales. This includes all sales of the original product and any derivative works of that product under copyright law.

Entrants must simply create a 300 word answer to the following question:

Q. Imagine and describe the concept, purpose(s) and functionality of a software application that, if developed and released, would:
(a) be useful to more than 100,000 different people;
(b) be worth paying more than $20 per year for a single user license;
(c) not require any special hardware beyond a normal desktop computer and an internet connection;
(d) have little, poor or expensive competition from existing applications;
(e) be technically feasible to develop a version 1.0 in less than 12 months with a competent development team.

The software will be developed as an online solution, or for Mac, Windows and/or Linux.

Entries close Friday 28 November.

Lo primero es... la informacion. (tal y como suena) mucha gente desconoce mucha informacion.
lo idear y a mi parecer mas funcional seria introducir la WIKIPEIA atraves de TELETEXTO para poder disfrutar de una una enciclopedia atualizada constantemente y gran valor para la sociedad.
