Let Your Vote be Heard — Livescribe Application Challenge Voting Now Open!

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Hope you’re having a great weekend, Livescribe fans!

As you may know, we launched an Application Challenge just before the holidays and a group of awesome developers have been hard at work ever since. More than 45 education, productivity and entertainment apps were submitted to the Challenge and now we need your help picking a favorite!

Want a say in which developer wins $5,000 cash? Here’s what you need to do:

Check out the contest Web site, watch the short video entries and click on the “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” rating icon to vote. You can vote for as many entries as you want, so don’t worry about picking just one favorite!

The entry that receives the most “thumbs up” ratings overall will become the People’s Choice Grand Prize Winner, and its developer will score the $5,000 cash prize. Top entries in each category – education, productivity and entertainment – will each receive $500 cash.

Last but not least, a panel of editors from well-known technology outlets around the world are reviewing the submissions behind-the-scenes. The Expert Panel Grand Prize Winner will also receive $5,000. Who knows, maybe one lucky developer will nab both $5,000 prizes?

Let your vote be heard (as many times as you like) and stay tuned for the results, which will be announced in early April.
