IGNITE Your M.App Challenge: Cast Your Vote Now!

BY MAUREEN MURTHA | 1 min read

After four months worth of submissions, Hexagon Geospatial's IGNITE Your M.App Challenge has closed for submissions -- but it's not over yet! Now we're counting on YOU to head over to the challenge page and check out the incredible 156 M.App concepts and decide which ones should move to the next round! That's right -- with all of these amazing ideas, we're going to need a little help paring it down. Once voting is closed on May 15, 2016, a panel of judges will be using your votes to help select the challenge finalists. The announcement of finalists moving to the Build phase will be made on June 14th. The final winners selection won't begin place until all of the apps are submitted on the deadline of August 31, 2016.  Hexagon Geospatial is planning to announce the ultiamate winners on Dec. 15, 2016, so we've still got a ways to go, everbody. 

But that's all a long way off still.  For now, just be sure to get your votes in before Sunday, May 15th, and be sure to check back in June to see if your favorites made the cut! 

Huge thanks to everyone who has participated so far. We're looking forward to the next exciting phase of the IGNITE Your M.App Challenge!
