Verizon Wireless is reminding developers of their last chance to submit their ideas for mobile applications. Sunday, September 20 marks the last day for submissions to the Apply Your Ideas contest.
The contest is soliciting developers that reside within the U.S. to submit self-created innovative applications as well as fill out registration and entry forms. Those who are registered in the Verizon Developer Community website will be eligible to vote on the applications based on innovation, quality and consumer appeal. The first round of public voting will account for the selection of the top apps in each category.
Participants to the contest are asked to go to the contest homepage to upload as many applications as they can in one of five categories: Connect (Social, Networking, Communication tools, News, Weather and Sports), Entertain (Games, Entertainment, Music, Video, Books and Multimedia), Guide (LBS, Travel and Dining), Save Time (Productivity, Tools/Utilities, Business, Finance or Reference) and Enhance Living (Lifestyle, Health, Security and Shopping).
Round two will see the public vote one more time to determine the finalists in each category, who will then be awarded the category prizes as well as a People’s Choice Award.
A panel of judges will determine the grand prize winner based on originality and innovation, quality of product, visual and user experience, product or service appeal, technical execution and value proposition.
The grand prize winner will be announced on October 30 and will receive $50,000, 200 per cent of application revenue received by Verizon Wireless to a maximum of $100,000, the application will also be featured on Verizon’s website for two weeks as well as in the V CAST Apps storefront, among other prizes.
The contest is now also allowing for those who submit a concept by the deadline an opportunity to complete those entries with a functioning application until the September 27.
