As we know, there are many competitions for startup, developer, digital ideas and creative innovation. Some categories, prizes, and facilities are the same and the others are different. While yesterday, there was announcement for Inaicta winners such as WayangForce, Sedapur, Amago (NightSpade), and so on. SparxUp Awards 2011 also still opens the registration until October 9th, 2011.
I hope the existing awards can be the support for digital industry growth. Although all events have different concept and vision, in my oppinion the post-event activities can be improved for the sake of the participants and winner.
