    Hi TomaszF1,

    Thanks for your question and your interest in the Samsung Gear App Challenge!

    I'm sorry, but apps for the Gear Fit device are not eligible for this competition. Per the Official Rules: "Participants must create (or have created) a working software application using the Samsung Gear Dev Tool available at http://developer.samsung.com/samsung-gear. The Application must run normally on a Samsung Gear 2 Device."

    Hi Serena, when you say 'Gear 2 device', does that include the Gear 2 Neo?

    Hi missingdigit,

    Thanks for your question! The Samsung Gear App Challenge is open to individuals, and teams of individuals (13 years of age and older), and organizations in most countries of the world.

    Students and Samsung employees who meet eligibility requirements listed in Section 2 of the rules are welcome to participate, but you not need to be a student or Samsung employee to enter the challenge.

    Please note that per the Official Rules, “any application that is funded or compensated, partially or fully, by “Samsung” for its development is not eligible for entry.”

    Also, “individuals or organizations whose participation is restricted by relevant laws of the Republic of Korea or the United States, or relevant legislations, regulations and other government policies that apply to participants are not eligible to participate. Please note that the Challenge may not be available in certain countries or regions, including, without limitation the Province of Quebec, Italy, Brazil, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan, and Myanmar, subject to change from time to time at “Samsung's” reasonable discretion and subject to the applicable laws.”

    For a full list of the eligibility criteria, please refer to Section 2 of the rules. If you have further questions regarding your eligibility feel free to reach out to me directly at support@challengepost.com.

    @Serena, one more question .. is there a limit on the number of apps a single developer can submit ? I see that ChallengePost currently allows Multiple submissions for the Gear App Challenge , so is it valid for a single eligible participant to submit multiple apps ?
    If so, does this impact the judging process ?
    Your thoughts are highly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Hi vykthur,

    Thanks for your question! Yes, you may submit more than one application to the challenge.

    Per the official rules: "Participants may submit more than one Entry, however, each Entry must be unique, as determined by the Samsung and/or ChallengePost."

    Each submission will be judged individually, so entering multiple applications will not affect the judging process. Do be sure, however, that your apps are substantially different than one another per the rule referenced above.

    Good luck!

    I am planning to create application for the app challenge. I have two mobile devices - Samsung Grand Quattro and Google Nexus 5. Could anyone please tell me if any of these device is supported in Gear 2?

    Hi nishannorunnobi,

    Thanks for your question. No, sorry if I was unclear. Each submission is judged independently. Entering multiple submissions will not affect the score each receives.

    Best,
    Serena
