Ready, Set, App! Call for Judges

Ready, Set, App! is a mobile app building competition for NC High Schoolers hosted by the North Carolina Business Committee for Education (NCBCE). Students work together to build an app to solve a problem in their school or community. The competition has two rounds. In the first round, all participants submit their projects for public voting. Then those votes are tallied to determine the top teams who will compete in the second round, the final pitch competition. The final pitch competition is where teams present their apps to a panel of professionals for the chance to win major prizes courtesy of our sponsor, Lenovo.

If you're interested in being a judge for this first round of voting, please click here. Voting is open to the public so anyone can participate. 

Judging opens April 19th and closes April 26th. If you have any questions, please reach out to ciera.tucker@nc.gov.
