- Huawei launched its Apps UP contest in order to highlight the most innovative applications in its mobile device ecosystem.
- Now the Top 30 shortlist has been announced, highlighting apps in the Middle East and Africa region.
- Voting for the most innovative app closes later this week, on 20th November.
With Huawei pushing with its own HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) device ecosystem, it has been looking to highlight some of the most innovative apps on the platform via its Apps UP Innovation Contest. The company does so each year, and 2022 is no different, with the Top 30 shortlisted apps detailed earlier this week.
This specific list pertains to the Middle East and Africa (MEA), with public voting now accessible until 20th November. The voting portion will make up 10 percent of overall scores, with the remainder split between an assessment of the functionality of the application and a judging panel.
There also appears to be some leeway in terms of how people can vote, with each email ID registered to vote capable of doing so up to 10 times per day, and voting for the same application up to three times per day. As such, it is clear that developers should do some marketing in order to garner votes.
The perks for winning are sizeable, according to Huawei. Here the company explains that, “Apps UP provides developers with unrivaled opportunities. Participants get exclusive workshops and hands-on coaching from Huawei’s top experts, enabling them to bring their product to market faster, and with more technical support.”
“In addition to the attractive cash rewards of US$230,000 for the MEA region, developers have the chance to achieve global recognition and get the attention of people who matter, such as the 730 million Huawei device users and potential partners or investors,” it adds in a press release sent to Hypertext.
