BlackBerry-maker RIM is encouraging UK developers to build applications for the BlackBerry platform and this years challenge is focused on finding the best ‘Super Apps.’
The Challenge offers developers prizes worth over $1.5m (£1m). Prizes include app promotion services, BlackBerry phones, BlackBerry App World marketing support, and an elite membership to the BlackBerry Alliance Program.
Judges will consider the entries across four regions – Asia-Pacific, N. America, Latin America and EMEA. The apps will be evaluated in seven different categories: productivity, entertainment, knowledge, sharing, navigation, multimedia and ‘In the Know’. Apps will be judged on quality, user experience and how effectively they have incorporated ‘Super App’ characteristics. Developers of apps selected at each finalist level will receive prizes.
