Any developer who has designed a game with Unity that has reached more than 10,000 installs in the Google Play or Apple App Store may enter the challenge. Simply port the existing app to Tizen and start selling it in Tizen Store. The first 50 apps can get US$3,000 each, and the entrant with the most popular app (attaining the highest number of Tizen Store installations) will win the grand prize of US$20,000.

 

Samsung Electronics has announced that Tizen App Challenge for Unity developers will commence on August 18th, 2016 - prior to the launch of the Samsung Z2, a new smartphone running on Tizen operating system. If you are a developer who has made a Unity-based game that has reached more than 10,000 installs, you're eligible to enter the challenge.

 

The contest will run from August 18 to November 21, with a total amount of US$185,000 in prizes up for grabs.

Additionally, top prizes will be awarded to three participants whose games reach the highest number of downloads during the contest period, in the amount of US$20,000, $10,000 and $5,000, respectively.
