The Arab Mobile App Challenge, organized by Silatech, invites teams from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Tunisia to compete with mobile solutions in the focus areas of entertainment, education, health and employability/entrepreneurship. 

Each participating Country will conduct a local “Mobile App Challenge” competition to choose the best mobile application built by a local team. Teams are judged on their business model and innovative utility of the mobile app as well as the effectiveness of their presentation. Each local winning team will move on to compete at the next level. In the final round of competition, winning teams will be invited to compete at the annual international finals held at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Applicants must register for the competition by October 31, 2013. To learn more or to register, check out their website here. The competition plans to expand to cover the entire Middle East and North Africa next year.
