Fox And Appnation Offer Developers A Chance To Create The Official App For TV Show Fringe

For the tech and sci-fi minded, Fox’s Fringe is a decent slice of relaxation but it could lead to some serious money for one lucky developer. In conjunction with the Appnation conference and expo that kicks off on 13 September, Fox is launching the Pimp My App! contest which asks developers to come up with the most “pimped-out” app for the TV show Fringe.

With so many uses of the word “pimp” in there we’re surprised MTV isn’t getting in on the action as well.

Developers will be provided with a set of technical requirements and criteria as well as access to Fringe multimedia assets in order to create the best possible partner app to the show and must make it compatible with both iOS and Android devices. The winning app will go on to become the official Fox Fringe app and the developer will be awarded a $10,000 prize. A second place prize winner will receive $1000. The winners will be announced at this year’s Appnation in San Francisco.

Those interested are urged to visit the Appnation website to find out more about the competition which closes for entries on September 3rd
