Amazon Web Services has announced the City on a Cloud Innovation Challenge, a new global program to recognize local governments and application developers who are innovating for the benefit of citizens using the AWS Cloud. In an email to FierceCIO, Amazon explained that from May to June a panel of worldwide experts from organizations driving local government innovation will select seven grand prize winners from among two award categories: Best Practices and Partners in Innovation. "Three AWS local government projects will be awarded the Best Practices Award, recognizing local governments who have already adopted cloud technology, each receiving $50,000 AWS credits," Amazon announced. "Four application developers will be awarded the Partners in Innovation Award for individuals and companies engaged in creating applications that solve local government challenges, each receiving $25,000 in AWS credits." The deadline to submit entries is May 12.
