BeMyApp WeekEnd is a three-day mobile app development competition.

The event’s goal is to be a platform focused on building successful startups around the next generation mobile applications and to foster a global community of entrepreneurs.

App Challenge

Follow mobile app news
& updates by BeMyApp

On Friday evening, registered idea generators have one minute to pitch an app concept to a tech audience. Attending engineers and designers as well as our team of glorious mentors vote for the best ideas that will be developed into applications during the weekend.

Teams are formed around the most promising projects and the competition begins. On Sunday evening, the teams will present to a panel of celebrity judges and to the victors will go the spoils (our awesome sponsored prizes).

2012 Mobile App Olympics

The next BeMyApp WeekEnd will be dedicated to all platforms – both native and mobile web apps. It will take place simultaneously in 7 cities around the world. Sign up for: Dallas · New York · San Francisco · Berlin · London · Paris · Zurich

Each city will nominate its best app to compete in the finals. A 48-hour worldwide vote will be launched and a worldwide winner will be selected. The winner will receive the 2012 Gold Medal in Mobile Apps!
