MySpace has opened the submission period for its Developer Challenge, a contest in which the company will award US$50,000 in prizes for new applications and for innovative uses of the social networking site's application programming interfaces.
External developers have until Feb. 24 to enter the contest, which includes a US$10,000 award in each of five categories: best new MySpace application and the most innovative uses of the real-time stream API, open search API, photo upload API and mobile API.
The panel of judges will include MySpace COO Mike Jones and Google Engineering Director David Glazer, MySpace announced on Monday. The winners will be announced at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in March.
