The Devvies: App of the Year Contest Judging Criteria for 2025 

The Devvies contest welcomes developers of all skill levels, and the criteria used to select finalists are based on the responses in your application. If you have any questions, visit our FAQs page. 

Judging Criteria for The Devvies 2025  

Grand Prize: App of the Year 

• Business Impact (30%): How has your app impacted your organization or your customer’s organization in terms of time saved, money saved, and improved customer/employee satisfaction? 

• Scale (20%): What is the size of your app’s user base? 

• Richness (20%): How many developer features did you incorporate into your app? 

• Innovation (30%): Did your app introduce a new or unique approach to solving a business challenge? 

Special Category: People’s Choice Award 

The Devvies 2025 continues an exciting new category: The People's Choice Award. Unlike other categories judged by a panel, this award gives the ServiceNow Community the power to choose the winner. Finalists for this category will be determined by January 6, 2025. Here's how it works:

Showcasing Finalists 

The finalists selected for "App of the Year" will be featured on our dedicated ServiceNow Community platform. Each finalist's app will be highlighted with an overview and notable features, along with the finalist pitch videos. Concerned about sharing your app on the Community? Check out our FAQs to find out how you can still qualify while maintaining confidentiality. 

Community Engagement 

ServiceNow Community members will be invited to engage with the finalists' apps, discuss their features, and vote for their favorite. 

Transparent Voting 

The app with the most community votes by the end of the voting period will win the People's Choice Award, recognizing the app that resonates most with our user base. Please note, that one app cannot win both App of the Year and People’s Choice Award. If a single app is eligible for both, the next highest-voted app will receive the People's Choice Award, ensuring a diverse recognition of outstanding apps.
