Dates

Applications are now open until September 8, 2023 and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. 

Eligibility

All participants must be 18 years and older. Please review the terms and conditions. 

Project and Submission Requirements

We’re looking for individuals or teams (up to 4 members) from a diverse range of backgrounds who are passionate about AI and can leverage their experiences as hackers, engineers, designers, and storytellers to identify and prototype new use cases, interfaces, or behaviors that couldn’t exist without generative AI. We’re prioritizing submissions with a large vision and the potential to engage a broad set of mobile users on a frequent basis– either directly via novel application experiences, step function improvements to current user behavior, or indirectly via enabling technology.

Prizes

Each of the three (3) winning team will receive:

  • More than $100K in cloud credits from leading providers
  • A $1,000 gift card to Samsung.com for each team member

Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

All projects will be evaluated on the following criteria:

  • Impact: Does this project have the potential to impact millions - even billions - around the world?
  • Creativity: Does the project solve a problem in a differentiated or unique way?
  • User Experience: Does the project deliver a delightful user experience?
  • Centrality of Generative AI: Does generative AI play a critical role in enabling the solution?
  • Technical feasibility: Does the technical implementation work? If the project is not fully functional, could this approach work technically?
  • Fidelity: How “finished” is the project? How close is it to an alpha launch?

There will be three award categories: 

  • Breakthrough Award: The project that demonstrates outstanding deep core technical or architectural innovations that enable or leverage generative AI. 
  • Edge Award: The project with the greatest impact that leverages only models that have been optimized and deployed locally on the device.  
  • Pioneer Award: The project that most uniquely leverages mobile sensor, data, or services to create novel or more impactful mobile user experiences.
