FlashLite Developer Challenge

Anyone here who still writes FlashLite Apps/Games? Err, none? Not even for US$15,000? That’s around P700,000 we’re talking about here.

That price could have already given you the boost to start your contest piece.

Now here are the categories as posted from the FlashLite Developer Challenge website:

1. Game — Enter into this category if your Flash Lite application is fun, interactive, and addictive and vaguely looks like one of the nominees or winners of the International Mobile gaming Awards. If you have an addictive cross platform game, allowing people to play from OC to phone, this is the category for you. You can also check out our sponsors’ websites for examples of games: Thumbplay or GetJar

2. Infotainment — Infotainment is a combination of Information and Entertainment. It therefore refers to Entertaining Information, but it can also refer to Entertainment News. Or even entertaining entertainment news! So if your application is an entertaining information service for mobile, this is your category. The more entertaining the service and the higher the information value the better.

3. Lifestyle — If you provide a service that helps people to decide what to wear, where to hang out, what to eat how to decorate their homes, what music to listen to and which movie or play to go see, this is your category. The more fun the user interface the better!

4. Sports — Any information service on any type of sports or any application for consumers doing sports or fitness enters into this category. Think also about applications that may enrich the experience of watching sports on TV in a stadium or outdoors.

5. Social Networking — Allow users to keep in touch and to interact with their social networks in an attractive way, using the device they always carry with them.

Can’t choose which category to join in? Well, you better pick now before the May 31, 2009 deadline.
