AppsFuel & AppCircus Present the HTML5 App Challenge!

AppsFuel is the first official sponsor of the AppCircus HTML5 App Challenge!  Even our names have a little something in common. ;-)))

The HTML5 App Challenge is an online contest for ambitious, apps-crazy developers to see whose HTML5 app will be judged the “best of show” by the AppsFuel and AppCircus jury of experts. The winner will earn a place to pitch their app in front of an international audience of industry leaders at the prestigious Mobile Premier Awards, held during the MWC in Barcelona in February 2013. This is a great opportunity for anyone with a great HTML5 mobile app and an all-consuming drive to earn a place on the global stage! Naturally, the winner will also be included in the AppsFuel Marketplace.

In case you haven’t heard of AppCircus yet, let me introduce you, quoting from the AppCircus website:

AppCircus is a unique global traveling showcase of the most creative and innovative apps presented by their creators during some of the most influential international events in mobile/web… and offers each participant a chance to get a nomination to the Mobile Premier Awards @ MWC in Barcelona, Feb 2013.

How the HTML5 App Challenge will work:

Developers can visit the new HTML5 App Challenge website today and submit their HTML5 mobile apps, after having first uploaded them to the AppsFuel Marketplace, of course. So, if you’re not already registered, signup to our developer zone to upload your HTML5 mobile app. Throw your app into the ring! Remember that apps must be developed using web technologies, HTML5, JS, CSS and be optimized for smartphones or tablets.

Anybody can then go to the site and vote for their favorite app and share the excitement of participating on Facebook and Twitter.

During each of the three months of the contest, there will be a new winner announced on the site and through our social media channels. Then, at the close of the contest, the grand prize winner will be chosen from among all the apps submitted. All the rules are posted on the HTML5 App Challenge website.

Hold on, there’s one more thing – if you’re a developer in the area around Naples, you do not want to miss the AppCircus workshop to be held at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. The workshop will cover the universe of mobile app development and, of course, AppsFuel will be there to talk about HTML5 mobile apps and the HTML5 App Challenge! So stay tuned and follow us on Twitter. Hope to see you there!
