"The "Apps for Democracy Finland" is your chance to wow the world with your ideas; your chance to build better systems on top of public data; your chance to demonstrate the value and the power of public data when it is let free; your chance to take public information and display it in exciting new ways; and your chance to walk away with a range of prizes."

A competition for generating ideas around the reuse of public government data modelled after Show Us a Better Way in the UK. Launched May 2009, running until September 2009.

The competition generated 60 ideas. Winners were announced November 26th 2009.
Winning idea was 'where do my taxes go', which won funding to realize the idea. Runners up were two related ideas about garbage removal dates, and places to bring garbage.
