Announcing the Google Cloud Platform Developer Challenge 2013 Winners
Thursday, January 30, 2014
About 5 months ago developers from across the globe witnessed the launch of the
Google Cloud Developer Challenge
. This contest invited developers to build locally relevant web applications built on
Google App Engine
that solve real world problems and “WOW” the world through the deft application of Google APIs like the
Google+
,
YouTube
and
Maps
APIs.
The competition launched on September 4th, 2013 and first round of submissions closed on November 22nd, 2013. The challenge had two categories for submissions as follows:
Enterprise/Small Business Solutions , Education, Not for Profit
Social / Personal Productivity/Games / Fun
Submissions were sent in from all the six challenge regions across the world:
Latin America
Sub Saharan Africa
South East Asia
Middle East & North Africa
India
Rest of the World
Participants chose the category that best described their submissions.
After receiving
434 submissions
in the first round, it took
80 judges from 26 countries worldwide
working with judges from Google to select
98 finalists
who would go on to compete for the grand prize in their regions. The finalists had over 3 weeks to improve their apps and resubmit for the final judging round carried out by Googlers from around the world.
It is therefore a great pleasure to announce the 12 winners of the 2013 edition of the Google Cloud Developer Challenge. You can find the details of the 12 winning apps

. We would like to appreciate the efforts of all the developers and judges from around the world that helped make the contest a memorable one.
