iGame Radio is proud to be the chief sponsor for iPhoneAppCafe’s ‘App Idol’ Competition. Entrants will be vetted by a panel of four judges for a chance to win the grand prize which includes $1000, development of their app by leading development company Locassa, and marketing by iPhoneAppCafe.

The competition begins with two weeks to solicit entries from entrants who must submit their ideas in written form. At the end of the 2 week period 20 finalists will be chosen. These finalists will product a video explaining why their app idea should win this incredible opportunity.

A panel of four judges will determine the grand prize winner. The judging panel consists of successful young entrepreneur Chris Maddern, Locassa’s CEO Simon Lee, iPhone Life’s Editor Alex Cequea, and rags-to-riches bin man-turned-successful app developer Rob Shoesmith. The app entrepreneurs of the judging panel will also provide mentoring and feedback to the winner.

The winner will be promoted on iPhoneAppCafe as well as featured in iPhone Life Magazine and interviewed for a special podcast interview on iGame Radio. The combined following of all sponsors and judges will give the winner promotion to more than 100,000 viewers/listeners. Submission deadline is July 24.
