The New Cities Foundation has announced the list of ten semi-finalists from 6 countries and 5 continents for the AppMyCity! Prize for the world’s best urban app.
Their competing mobile apps were selected for their potential to enhance the urban experience and their potential impact.
Mathieu Lefevre, Executive Director of the New Cities Foundation and AppMyCity Prize Judge, said, "We were so impressed by the fantastic applications we received from cities all across the world for this year’s AppMyCity! Prize. The ten apps we have pre-selected all reaffirm the potential for mobile apps to make good cities great, in very different ways. Whether leading a citizen through a new experience of the city or helping people map walkable routes in cities, these innovative apps re-imagine the role of the individual in the metropolis and the impact of the metropolis on the individual. I now look forward to working together with my fellow judges and picking the three finalists who will join us at the New Cities Summit in São Paulo."
The semi-finalists were selected by the New Cities Foundation, out of a total of 92 apps to meet the Prize requirements. New Cities Foundation has also announced that 3 finalists among the 10 will be selected on May 7, 2013 and invited to the New Cities Summit in the month of June.
In their final bid to win, the three finalists will present their project live at the Summit. The winner will be selected by the audience and announced during the Summit. The winner will be given a prize money of US$5,000 towards further development of their app.
