Android Developer Challenge Eligibility

The Android Developer Challenge contest is open only to applications that have not been made publicly available through the Android Market, any other available apps market, or public website, prior to July 1st, 2011. Additionally, applications that were entered into other mobile contests are ineligible for the contest, regardless of whether they were winning apps. Similarly, updated versions of applications entered in other contests are ineligible.

When you enter an application in the Android Developer Challenge, we will make it available to all contest judges for free, exclusively for the purposes of judging. If you intend to sell your application after the conclusion of the contest, you may submit a “trial” version of the application for judging. We recommend that your trial version include full functionality, but with a timed expiration, rather than including limited functionality with no expiration. Judges will evaluate your application based only on the functionality accessible to them, so it makes sense to provide the fullest range of capabilities possible in your contest app.

All submitted applications must run on Android 2.2 and higher and the user interface must be in English or French.
