Contest Guidelines

Your entry needs to include a 3 minute max video that demonstrates a working prototype of your app. Your app does not have to be ready for release. The video should showcase how the main functionality works, with an emphasis on its creativity, usability, and utility.

You may submit as many apps as you choose for iOS (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch), Android, Windows Phone 7, or other mobile Web apps. A panel of experts from U-M, Apple and Google will judge your app based on creativity, usability, and utility. Suggested categories for apps are:

  • Health, Fitness, Medical
  • Social, Lifestyle
  • Entertainment, News
  • Productivity, Tools
  • Travel, Local
  • Education, Reference
  • Music, Audio
