The Vodafone Australia Foundation launched App Aid - Coding for a Cause in July 2011. App Aid was based on a hackathon style event.
Ten short listed charities were paired up with 3-4 developers, both professionals and amateurs to code for a cause over 48 hours and build smartphone app prototypes for their selected charity. After the 48 hours, each team then had 5 minutes to pitch their app to a panel of 5 judges.
The winner of App Aid was awarded AUS$30,000 to further develop their app, with the runner up receiving AUS$10,000 to invest in development.
