PEACEapp Competition

Organised by the United Nations Alliance of Civilisations and the United Nations Development Programme in collaboration with Build Up, PEACEapp is a global competition that aims to promote digital games and gamified apps as venues for cultural dialogue and conflict management.

The competition will give developers, technologists and peacebuilders worldwide the chance to showcase their work (new, existing or in progress) and engage with questions that are central to building peace.
Entries are accepted in the following categories:
- digital games & gamified apps developed purposefully for this competition;
- already existing digital games; and
- creative re-purposing of existing digital games to meet the aim of PEACEapp.

Five winning entries will be selected: three that are fully functioning and two that are in development.
The three fully functioning games or apps will receive an award of USD$ 5,000 each.
The two in development will receive mentorship from expert partners. In addition, one member of each award-winning team (completed or in development) will be invited to the Build Peace conference in April 2015 in Cyprus to share their product with conference participants.

Deadline: 15 October 2014.
