We’ve lined up a special celebrity guest\, Chicago Bears 7-time Pro-Bowl LB Lance Briggs\, a self-admitted comic book fanatic. As the celebrity judge\, he’s looking for the best designers and devs to build him a mobile app.  And where better to find the best than SXSW?  Especially when the Official SXSW Hackathon is located smack in the center of the action at the Austin Convention Center for your convenience. At the same time\, we also have a mHealth API mobile app track with the winners to be showcased at the Health 2.0 Spring Fling conference in Boston AND placed in contention to become an AT&\;T funded startup as part of Startup Health'\;s Academy.

Finally\, to really make this crazy\, we’ve got over $46k in cash and prizes that include HTC Jetstream tablets and Sierra Wireless 4G Elevate devices. Would you rather just party or make money while partying and get the best of both worlds?
