We know how difficult it can be to get yourself noticed at Mobile World Congress, especially if you’re new to the industry, so we’re giving 10 great mobile startups the opportunity to pitch their business in front of an audience of VCs and mobile specialists.

Back for another year, the Barca Starta gives each finalist three minutes to showcase their company at the final in Barcelona on 25 February. The winner will receive a €1,000 prize, a video interview and a splash in the following issue of Mobile Marketing. All of the finalists will also be featured on the Mobile Marketing website in the run up to the main event.

Before that, we need to know what your company does, what’s different, innovative or disruptive about it, as well as how scalable it is and what the growth targets are. Companies must have been trading for fewer than three years and have a maximum of 15 staff, but there’s no set turnover limit.

Entrants must be available to pitch in the final in Barcelona on 25 February 2014. The entry deadline is 17 January. Click here to enter. You can contact [email protected] for more information about the competition.
