Uganda’s Mafuta Go Wins MWC Award

You will be glad to know that Mafuta Go won the Ringmasters Award at the Mobile World Congress Premier Awards in Barcelona.

 

Subsequent to Mafuta Go’s having been selected by the six jurors at our MoMo Kampala AppCircus as the Uganda AppCiircus nominee, Christine Ampaire having given the three-minute elevator pitch on behalf of her team, AppCircus organizers selected Mafuta Go, out of fifty or more contenders, as one of twenty finalists to present on stage at one of the preeminent mobile events of the year, the  Premier Awards, as a prelude and opening to the Mobile World Congress.

 

And yesterday evening the big event was capped by Christine’s accepting the Ringmaster’s Award on behalf of her team in front of a thousand or more delegates, including more VIPs than you could shake a stick at! They have done Uganda proud, and no doubt a time for celebration.

 

“The Mobile Premier Awards is now one of the traditional highlights at MWC in Barcelona. Organized by App Circus, the event comes as the conclusion of a one-year international competition process to showcase the best apps. For the finalists, which were shortlisted among regional winners, the event came as an opportunity to pitch their project to a professional jury, the event’s organizers and to the audience, who all picked up a winner” Here’s a link to the full article about the event: http://thenextweb.com/mwc/2012/02/27/the-mobile-premier-awards-announce-winners-at-mwc/  (There are links to the finalists in the article) There’s a lovely photo of Christine, together with Terry Karungi on the MoMo Kampala website’s photo carousel.

 

Thanks to all for helping to make this happen.

 

With kind regards, Daniel
