Hot off the Twitter, the organizers of Federal Virtual World Challenge that we've written about previously have announced the prizes for the winners. According to the FAQ on the official site:
Winners will be showcased at the Defense Users' Game Tech Conference in Orlando, Florida. The top three winners in each non-Government category will receive air-fare, rental car and hotel accommodations to attend the event. First place winners will receive $1000, second place will receive $500 and third will receive $250. In addition, the director for the Simulation Training Technology Center, COL Langhauser will have the option of awarding a $25,000 grand prize if a submittal is deemed to be such a significant advancement that it likely will lead to additional future Government investment.
Submissions are due by November 15, 2009. Head to http://fvwc.army.mil for details.
