Hello everybody!
The sixth startup competition from Amazon Web Services has begun and is open to register candidates. Since 2007, the Global Startup Challenge has enabled young projects to win $ 100,000 and show themselves to potential investors. In addition to the main award, all sorts of advertising and other interesting buns from AWS will also be raffled off.
Registration is open from September 14 to November 9, 2012.

Every year, participants in the AWS Global Start-Up Challenge get an opportunity to meet face-to-face with representatives of leading global venture funds such as Andreessen Horowitz, Union Square Ventures, NEA, Accel and Madrona Venture Group. For example, last year FantasyShopper received a $ 3.3 million investment from NEA and Accel.
Press coverage
Your startup can become famous thanks to press release giants such as TechCrunch and GigaOM. You yourself know what effect habrahabr sometimes does.
AWS Loans
Many worthy projects receive loans of up to $ 2,000 to host their projects on AWS. And the winners of the nominations receive $ 50 thousand in cash and $ 50 thousand loan for hosting. There is also a draw of smaller amounts of loans among all participants.
Expert advice
Having passed the selection rounds, you will be able to get acquainted with experts who will help you to properly present your product. There will be a lot of big names at the event, and getting to know them is already in some way a success.
Last year I worked on a project that, unfortunately, did not become a prize winner, but still, there was still a certain surge of traffic, reviews in the press and interest in the product.
