The Kii Cloud App Challenge provides an opportunity for developers to launch innovative mobile applications that leverage Kii Cloud, a mobile-backend-as-a-service platform. Kii Cloud accelerates development by enabling developers to focus on building the best app experience rather than the backend infrastructure.

The objective of this contest is to introduce applications that best illustrate the capabilities and the breadth of features offered by Kii Cloud and its partners.

It's really easy to get up and running with Kii Cloud as you can see in our Getting Started video you can get a cloud connected app up and running in less than 5 minutes.

Eligibility

All individuals and teams of eligible individuals aged 14 or older worldwide except residents of the province of Puerto Rico, Quebec in Canada, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Italy, Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Sudan. If you’re a minor we’ll require a written authorization from your parents to allow participation.

It’s also open to corporations (including not-for-profit corporations and other nonprofit organizations), limited liability companies, partnerships, and other legal entities that, at the time of entry, have been duly organized or incorporated and validly exist, and employ no more than ten (10) people.

Requirements
