Students entering the competition, sponsored by dot mobile, have until 30 April to design a mobile phone application or service that somehow enhances student life, with the winner set to win €5,000.
As mobile phones have become increasingly integral to student life, the competition aims to find something that can improve life on campus or off, and can include applications or services in entertainment, sports, shopping, health, as well as for the pursuit of academic excellence.
The applications just have to be innovative, insightful, be stand-alone or involve other networks (social or other) and not be prescriptive. The entries will be judged on its insight into campus life; how it addresses a specific need or opportunity, its impact on campus; and must run on one or more mobile devices.
First prize is a cash sum of €5,000; second - €2,000; and third €1,000. The competition opened on 14 January, 2008 and will close on 30 April, 2008. Application profiles can be made using features of the Betavine website in order to create an application profile and upload their entries.
More information and Terms and Conditions are available on the vodafonebetavine site.
