Best in Class & Best in Show
This year's categories will help align with the overall themes of SugarCon. From the submissions in each category your SugarCon team will select three finalists. These finalists will be reviewed by SugarCRM's executive team, who will choose one entry from each category as "Best in Class." Each category winner will be invited to present on the main stage in front of the entire SugarCon audience to compete for the "Best in Show" award!
Power to the People!
For the first time ever the community also gets a voice for who will compete for the "Best in Show" award! Each submission will use a blog post in Welcome to the App Throwdown! space . This will give you, all of your colleagues, facebook friends, and twitter followers, the opportunity to "Like" your entry. When submissions close, the entry with the most "Likes," will be designated "Community Favorite" and will be invited to show their stuff under the bright lights on SugarCon's main stage! So go vote today!
Don't wait to submit your application! This year's deadline for all submissions is May 13! Remember, the earlier you submit, the more time you have to get support and "Likes" on your entry.
