GovTech on a new iteration of New York City’s data challenges:

Have an idea for a mobile or Web application that would be useful for New York City, but you aren’t a programmer? If so, the New York City has the perfect apps contest for you: the NYC BigApps Idea Challenge. Launched by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) this week, the competition seeks new ideas for Web, desktop or mobile applications that benefit businesses, tourists and those living in the Big Apple.
