phase for interested developer teams to submit application concepts. In
phase two, the top five developer teams from phase one will build upon
their initial proposals and create working game applications. The developer
of the winning game app will receive $100,000. The second place winner will
receive $50,000, and the third place winner will be awarded $25,000.
Winners will be announced in September 2013 and the first place winner will

Games Challenge is the second in a series of innovation competitions
sponsored by the Foundation through its *Aligning Forces for Quality* (AF4Q)
initiative.
