And for the winners? $50,000. In its third year, the BigApps 3.0 competition is offering approximately 750 data sets to developers, along with APIs from bit.ly, DonorsChoose.Org, Etsy, Foursquare, Tumblr, Hunch, Meetup, GetGlue , Magma, Min.us, NewsBlur, Readability, Yipit, RecordSetter, among others who may be added to the list in the future. Five app categories have been added into the competition including Best Green App, Best Health App, Best Education App, Best Mobility App, and Best NYC Mashup App.
