This year, RLabs and Vodacom have come together to present us with the Community Information Challenge 2010 – The premise behind this challenge revolves around the fact that there are thousands of people in local communities who have access to mobile phones. With this access, Internet access has become a possibility and the idea here is to enhance local communities using mobile Internet.
The challenge is seeking innovative and fresh ideas, around how local and relevant information can be accessed and shared within these communities.
There are some criteria:
- Solution must be deployable in South Africa
- Entrants must be registered as a developer in the Betavine Community
- Entries need to be submitted in English
Opening and Closing Dates:
- Opening: 8th March 2010
- Closing: 31st May 2010
The winner will receive a cash prize of R20,000 and the opportunity for meetings with the Vodacom Innovation team to discuss deployment options.
