The Ministry of Transport and Communications is inviting mobile app developers in Qatar to submit applications for the World Summit Award Mobile (WSA-mobile) 2016; a unique global contest for digital applications that have a strong impact on society in one of the eight WSA categories.
Individuals, companies, and organisations are invited to join the contest by submitting their best submissions from today until April 30. Submissions can contain mobile applications, SMS based products, mobile games and interactive mobile productions. There is no limitation regarding the platforms or channels the projects work with.
“Mobile usage has outgrown Internet usage in terms of access and we do more and more things with our mobiles. The WSA is seeking for the best m-content and apps that deliver the most value and richness and diversity beyond SMS, games and pictures in order to rise to the challenge to keep mobile innovation moving forward,” said Reem al-Mansoori, assistant undersecretary for Digital Society Development, the Ministry of Transport and Communications and the competition’s national expert.
The award includes eight categories: Government & Citizen Engagement, health & wellbeing, learning & education, environment & green energy, culture & tourism, smart settlements & urbanisation, business & commerce and inclusion & empowerment.
All submitted products from Qatar will be evaluated by a local jury of experts headed by Reem al-Mansoori, being the national expert spearheading the nomination process for Qatar.
Individuals, companies or organisations are invited to submit their entries to the ministry via e-mail: wsa@motc.gov.qa to be considered for nomination. Only one product or app can be nominated from Qatar in each category. All submitted products must have been completed after January 1, 2014.
Any submitted product must be free of offensive or plagiarised content and may not violate human rights as laid out in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and its application by international human rights courts or panels recognised by the United Nations Organisation.
Submissions which encourage war, the exercise of violence, fraud, racism or discrimination will not be accepted and eliminated. Similarly, submissions that violate international copyright provisions will be excluded.
