The Sunlight Labs, Sunlight Foundation’s open source development community, has announced that “Filibusted” won the grand prize of $15,000 in Sunlight’s Apps for America government mashup contest. Filibusted, created by Andrew Dupont, uses data from GovTrack.us to track Senate votes, and highlights which senators use parliamentary procedures to block votes on legislation. The $5,000 second prize went to “Legistalker,” a site created by a team from Forum One Communications that tracks news, Twitter, YouTube and other online activity by and about members of Congress. Sunlight awarded the third prize to four sites including, “Hello Congress,” “Know Thy Congressman,” “Yeas & Nays” and “e-Paper Trail.”
