Team Rollercoaster shares top spot with Team Blue Butterfly's ‘Tap-to-wi-fi’ app.
O2's Isobar Create London event at the weekend promised cash and marketing support to developers with cool contactless ideas.
The UK operator teamed up with digital communications agency Isobar to launch the UK competition.
Team Rollercoaster won funding from BlueVia for an app that uses NFC to help theme park visitors pay for and secure their place in a queue for a ride, as well as offering other features to enjoy while they move along the line.
Team Blue Butterfly bagged the £10k fund from Proxama for an app that uses NFC to allow people to tap for wi-fi in bars, cafes, hotels, airports etc.
Another award went to London BBDG, whose supermarket-shopping app scans products from the supermarket shelf for easy check-out and more. The team won an all-expenses-paid trip to BlackBerry Jam 10 conference in Orlando.
