The AppArtAward honors apps that represent advanced artistic applications. Besides artistic aspects the creative integration as well as the use of options offered by new technologies is important.

Since the launch of the AppArtAward in 2011 several hundred apps have been received for the competition from developers in 44 countries on all continents. The aim: to establish the app as a new art form.
