Saint Mary's First-Ever Mobile App Contest Winners Announced

After a grueling period of coding, designing, and brainstorming, both team finalists of Saint Mary's Mobile App Contest recently presented their mobile application prototypes for final judging.

After careful deliberation, Team SMMAPPS was declared the winner of Phase Two and awarded the Grand Prize: iPad minis and one-course tuition waivers.

Competition in the development phase of the contest was tough, and both teams presented stellar mobile app designs and concepts. The judging panel would like to thank both teams for their hard work and ingenuity.
