DESCRIPTION:
The Mobile Content Challenge is a contest created for students of Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) in Malaysia to research and use new technologies to develop real world solutions for mobile telecommunications. This event is jointly organized by Maxis Communications Berhad, the Ministry of Energy, Water & Communications (KTAK) and the Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (SKMM).

The objectives of the Mobile Content Challenge are:-

1. To encourage students’ development in the area of mobile content and application;

2. Identify and cultivate an innovative and creative mindset amongst students; and

3. To nurture a community of young entrepreneurs that will develop and provide Malaysian content.

This Challenge requires students currently enrolled in any IHLs in Malaysia to form teams and develop exciting and new mobile content (“Challenge”). In the first phase of the Challenge, teams are encouraged to explore all areas of mobile content development which includes content, applications, and services. Teams with the most creative concepts for mobile content will be selected to proceed to the second developmental phase of the Challenge. The teams with the most innovative and viable mobile content will be awarded cash prizes!

The teams are given the freedom to utilize any development language/tool of choice. Teams’ limitations are only their own imagination!

Samples of local commercially developed content and online resources are available on http://mdp.maxis.com.my under Showcase Gallery and Online Resources sections respectively.
