Most major roadways (at least in my moderately sized city of around 4 million) have traffic cameras all up and down them that are freely accessible. I'm guessing this would be a valid strategy - run image analysis on all of the traffic cams you can get your hands on for red balloons.

Wouldn't surprise me if this is what the purpose of the contest is - to get someone to develop this software for them.
