We've extended the submission deadline for the AWS Start-Up Challenge to September 25th, 2009! A number of potential entrants in Europe asked for "just a little more time" and we're happy to oblige them.
As noted previously, entrepreneurs in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Israel can enter to win $50,000 in cash, another $50,000 in AWS usage credits, mentoring from AWS experts, and a year's worth of AWS Gold support.
I'm looking forward to participating in the judging. I always enjoying studying each of the entries and really appreciate the diversity nature of the applications and the intensity and creativity of the applicants.

PS - I'm just one of several judges, so don't bother trying to bribe me with chocolate.
Hi Jeff --
Any way to get a confirmation that our application has been submitted?

Good news. I was stressing about get my submission in today :-)

Any comment yet on why entries are limited to United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Israel? It's awfully disappointing for those of us who live in Canada or any of the other 190 countries in the world.

Any way to resubmit as we feel that we could have worked on it a little more.

Nice, but why only four countries (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Israel) ?

Really appreciate the extra time. Thanks :)

I would like to refine my entry, now that I have another month! How would I go about that?
