ABOUT US
The 2011 AWS Start-Up Challenge is now closed. We will be posting the regional semi-finalists and finalists on our AWS blog (http://aws.typepad.com/) and on the AWS website in early November.
About the AWS Start-up Challenge:
This annual contest, launched in 2007, is a way for promising start-ups to get noticed and compete for an opportunity to win up to $100,000 in cash and AWS credits. Eligible start-ups that are using the AWS cloud computing platform can submit an entry into the contest which describes their business plan and use of AWS paid services.
We will select 15 regional semi-finalists: 5 each from the Americas, Asia Pacific (including Japan), and EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa), respectively, who will each receive $2,500 in AWS credits. From these, we will select a minimum of 6 finalists to be awarded a package of $10,000 in AWS credits and a trip to Palo Alto to attend the final round of judging. Then, after a day of meetings with our judges, we will announce one grand prize winner at a public event of start-ups and investors. The winner will receive a package that includes $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in AWS credits.
