Ever gazed longingly at an advertisement for an app competition, thinking “if only I knew more about computer programming, I could win that thing”? You’re in luck. A new contest called the NYC BigApps Idea Challenge, which will be live for the next month, was created for people like you. What sets it and similar app contests apart from those that came before is that they’re open to people with big ideas but without the technical skills needed to translate those ideas into actual products. Winners of this contest could see their ideas become reality.

What a cool idea. It’d be great to see other cities follow New York’s example.
