Clever. So they get lots of great app ideas, pick the 4th or 5th best idea as the winner, build it, and then get to work on the actual best idea submitted for themselves.
Not a bad idea, but also not in the spirit of our company or this competition. Anyone can view the ideas that are submitted, not Coshx alone. Certainly this well keep some people from submitting, but it will not keep us from helping someone launch their idea.
"We can build the technology, that is the easy part. Turning a product into a sustainable business is the challenge." Technology is 'easy' if your portfolio ( http://www.coshx.com/projects ) consists of applications such as poll management and event scheduling. In reality if you are going to build something awesome, it's not going to be easy.

Here's the question I always ask when the idea vs. execution debate comes up: Can you give me one single example of someone having sold an idea for a sizeable amount of money? I haven't heard any good answers yet.
Better yet - if ideas themselves had value, there would be a marketplace for them. Note - There currently is no marketplace for ideas that I know of.
You can’t buy individual ideas because it is hard to distinguish between good and bad ideas to buy without hearing the idea itself (which would make the idea unnecessary to buy). The best method for deciding what idea to buy is who thought of it and what their qualifications are. And if you are going to buy ideas based on who makes them, you might as well just hire the person themself (as an employee or a consultant) – it would be more efficient, and the law makes those kind of relationships the most convenient.

ideas have very little value. what really matters is the execution team.
