The Charleston Defense Contractors Association is now accepting submissions for its seventh annual Student Mobile App Competition.
The competition is open to middle school, high school, and full-time college students. The Charleston Defense Contractors Association challenges students to create a mobile app that solves a problem, is easy to use, and offers an enjoyable user experience.

Past winners have received scholarships and job offers from participating organizations. Competitors could also win up to $10,000 in prizes and scholarships. College of Charleston students are encouraged to apply for this educational and career-expanding opportunity.
The deadline for filing a letter of intent in the competition is Oct. 27, 2017. Online submissions may be submitted on the CDCA website. The deadline for submitting the app and supporting materials is 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 15, 2017.
