6. Winner Selection and Judging Criteria

Except for the Popular Choice Award, the Submissions will initially be screened by a qualified internal panel selected by the Sponsor at its sole discretion. The internal panel will judge each Submission on the criteria identified below to select finalist Submissions. Then the finalist Submissions will be judged by an expert judging panel including the following five individuals:

  • Tom Glocer (CEO, Thomson Reuters)
  • James Powell (CTO, Thomson Reuters)
  • Eric Frank (President of Investment & Advisory, Thomson Reuters)
  • Vivek Nasta (Global Head of Mobility, Markets, Thomson Reuters)
  • Roger Ehrenberg (Managing Partner, IA Venture Partners)
  • Stephen Sparkes (CIO, Morgan Stanley Investment Bank)
  • Rikki Tahta (Founder and Chairman, Covestor)

Sponsor reserves the right to substitute or modify the judging panel without any further notice. Judges do have the right to withdraw without advance notice in the event of extenuating circumstances beyond their control.

Judges will be fair and impartial. A judge may elect to recuse him or herself from judging a Submission, if in the judge’s sole discretion it is not appropriate for him or her to judge that particular Submission because of a past or current relationship with that particular Contestant. A Submission will not be at a disadvantage if a judge(s) recuses him or herself.

Winning depends on the number of eligible Submissions received and the quality of submitted Submissions. The approximate dates for the judging of finalists Submissions is between July 26, 2010 and August 29, 2010. The winners will be announced on or about September 21, 2010.

First Prize, Second Prize and Third Prize

The Judges will evaluate each finalist Submission on the following three criteria: (1); Usefulness to a financial professional (2); Quality of the implementation; and (3) Ease of use and visual appeal. The three (3) Contestants whose Submissions earn the highest overall score will win the prizes identified below in section 9. In the event of a tie, winner will be selected based on the criteria described in (1), then (2), and finally (3). If there is still a tie then the winner will be selected based on a vote by the judging panel, which will consist of an odd number of judges.

One (1) winner will be chosen solely based on the voting of registered visitors to www.StreetAppsChallenge.com. If there is a tie between one or more Submissions for the Popular Choice Award, each tied Contestant will receive their own iPad, invitation to the award ceremony and shown on Thomson Reuters Jumbotron in NYC, but the $2,500 cash prize will be split equally amongst the tied Contestants.

Internal Thomson Reuters Winner (First Prize and Second Prize)

The judging panel will judge each finalist Submission on the following three criteria: (1); Usefulness to a financial professional (2); Quality of the implementation; and (3) Ease of use and visual appeal.
