The competition is now closed.

Can you make mobiles useless to thieves? Convince us you’re up to the challenge
and we’ll pay to develop your idea. Or maybe you accept that criminals are more creative than you?

We are offering a total of £400,000 to four winning teams of designers and technology specialists to develop innovative, marketable solutions that:
_Make mobile phone handsets harder or less desirable to steal
_Make the data stored on mobile phones harder or less desirable to steal
_Make future m-commerce transactions secure and fraud proof.

The Mobile Phone Security Challenge is part of a government initiative to Design Out Crime.
