NYC Geo/Mobile Hack Day is a two day event taking place on September 11-12 at Dogpatch Labs NYC where start ups and developers come together to discuss the current landscape of location based technologies.  The startups will also share their ideas for the businesses and applications that can be built on top of the frameworks they are creating. At the end of the hack day developers can submit their creations for the chance to win $1,000!

A quick rundown on how it will work:

Saturday September 11, 9 AM
After breakfast we’ll have each startup present their APIs to the developers. Each startup will have 5 minutes to show off/explain the API and 2 minutes for questions. After lunch developers will spend the rest of Saturday brainstorming and building.

Sunday September 12, 9 AM
Developers will continue to hack. At the end of the day they will present their apps to the other developers.

WINNERS
A panel of 5 judges will vote to select the top four apps. Top apps will be selected according the the following criteria:

• Most Creative
• Most Complete
• Broadest Potential Reach
• Most Useful

The top four applications will then have 2 weeks to be polished and will then present again at the Mobile Mondays event on September 27th. The attendees of the Mobile Mondays event will select the winner of the grand prize of $1,000.
