Toshiba UK has launched The App Studio campaign, in which the public are invited to come up with Windows 8 Application concepts, for the chance of a winning idea to be made by a professional development team. The Toshiba App Studio will be hosted on the Toshiba UK Facebook page, from where ideas can be submitted. 

Following the submission period, which starts today and runs until 2 November, the entries will be judged by an expert panel consisting of professional app developers, and representatives fromToshiba and Microsoft. Judges will be specifically looking for creative app ideas that are based on a unique and original concept. Market potential and functionality will also be considered.

The winning idea “may” get the chance to be turned into a fully working app by professional developers, and be made available to download on the Windows Store, available on all Windows 8 products. (Nothing like being fully committed – Ed.)  Additionally, the 10 best ideas selected by the panel will also win a Toshiba Satellite P845t laptop.

“The idea behind the campaign is that anyone can come up with amazing ideas for an app,” said Toshiba UK’s senior marketing manager, Tarek Boudour. “It’s not important to have the technical know-how, but judges will be looking for exciting, original and easy-to-understand ideas.”
