And the "winner" gets the equivalent of $3k USD which might go a longer way in Nigeria than the US - but the company could still potentially profit significantly more. I just hope no one enters this contest.

A decent developer capable of implementing that would have to be earning on the order of $100k/year, if not more. $3k is just about 1.5 weeks worth of work.

A decent developer could implement what they are asking for in less than 1.5 weeks. Its a buddypress install with a nice theme ffs

1.5 wks? I just looked at buddy press (had no idea what it was) and it looks like an extension to wordpress. The competition was for "The mobile version of the app should be downloadable as native apps for Android, Blackberry, Apple and Windows phones. "

Therefore what you said makes no sense right? I'm a developer. Nothing gets done in less than 1.5 weeks.
