What Is App Builder Contest?

It was first initiated in 2022 by our App Builder team at Infragistics with the idea to challenge and encourage developers and designers of all skill levels around the globe to create innovative apps using low-code App Builder + prebuilt UI components integrated in the platform.

Now, the contest includes bigger prizes and more exciting secret awards along with some basic but important requirements. And the entry date? The 2023 App Builder Contest is already opened for submissions, and it will close on November 17th. It’s best to enter and submit as soon as you have your app ready to avoid last-minute stress, technical glitches, and give your entry the time it deserves.

So, if you have already tried our low-code platform — great! You know how it works and can easily create a winning application.
