The Glasgow 2014 Digital Sprint competition is looking for an innovative idea to enhance the overall experience for people during or after the Games which are due to take place from July 23 to August 3

The winning entry of the "Glasgow 2014 Digital Sprint" will receive up to £30,000 ($50.000/€36,000) to make their idea a reality and will receive tailored business support from Scottish Enterprise or Business Gateway as part of their prize

They will also be given a public platform allowing them to reach a wider audience through their association with Glasgow 2014 and its partner organisations.

Glasgow 2014 digital media manager Paul Giblin, said: "Digital has already played a huge role in the build up to the Games and helped us engage with key communities across Scotland.

"We hope this provides an opportunity for some of the smaller, more innovative companies, start-ups and individuals to benefit from an involvement in the biggest sporting and cultural event in Scotland's history.

"There's a wealth of digital talent in Scotland, and we'd love to hear about some of those ideas, either something that will directly benefit users during or after the Games or provide a digital legacy for Scotland and future events."

The competition, being run in partnership with Scottish Enterprise, opens today and runs for a four-week period up until 11.59pm GMT on May 18.
