O2’s innovation team The Lab are also offering a 12 month paid internship to one talented individual in connection with Campus Party.
Projects have ranged from combining giant iPhones with Kinect sensors to rapid app development to real-time Eurovision polling analysis.
Innovators are invited to create something – hardware or software – that subverts the original purpose of a device by making it do something it’s not supposed to do.
Applicants will pitch either a blog or video to the Lab team at Campus Party, where 10 runners up will win free tickets to next years Campus Party.
Deadline for applications is the 6th September.
