Three prizes will be awarded based on the best use of the two sponsor companies' mobile technologies.  Kinvey offers a quick and easy cloud storage service for apps and games, and Viximo provides an SDK that gives developers easy access to an all-inclusive social graph, recommendations, multi-channel notifications, and a real-time presence solution. The categories and prizes are:

The deadline for participants to submit their video demos of their apps / games to the judges will be noon Sunday the 19th, the day after the Hackathon.  Judges will then review the demos and make their picks for each category on Monday the 20th and notify all participants of the results.

Judges include Sean Lindsay (Co-founder and CTO at Viximo), Sravish Sridhar (Founder and CEO at Kinvey), Greg Raiz (Founder and CEO at Raizlabs) and Dave Bisceglia (Co-Founder & CEO at The Tap Lab).

About the Sponsors 

	Viximo provides the largest independent platform for connecting social applications with premium social networks. You can think of it as the Batman utility belt for mobile app developers: it's got all the tools you need to take your mobile apps social.
	Kinvey is the first Backend as a Service that makes it ridiculously easy for developers to setup, use and operate a cloud backend for their mobile apps.  Their service lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their mobile application, not worrying about connecting to various cloud services, setting up servers for their backend, or maintaining and scaling them.

 A big thanks to WorkBar in Boston for providing us an AWESOME hackathon location!
