Is your new business disrupting the mobile space? Do you offer something truly unique that consumers, or indeed businesses, are going to love? If so, you need to know about the Barca Starta. This is our new competition for start-ups that have been trading for less than three years and have less than 20 employees.

We are inviting start-ups to pitch for a place in the final of the competition, which takes place on the afternoon of Tuesday 26 February in Barcelona, with the Mobile Marketing Mixer party to follow. Finalists will be invited to give a two-minute presentation to the judging panel, explaining why their company should win.

The winning company, and one runner up, will receive cash prizes. Well also be giving wide coverage to all of our finalists – each presentation will be filmed to appear on our site following MWC, and well be running features on the finalists online and in the June issue of our print magazine.

You can find out more about the competition and the party, and download the entry form for the competition, on the Barca Starta website. The deadline for entries is 5pm UK time, Friday 25 January.
