DVLUP is a great way for developers become more successful developers that was originally created by Nokia and Microsoft to encourage app development.

When you join DVLUP, you'll get access to App Challenges, news, events, partner opportunities and more. Earn points to redeem for Rewards, including promotional placements for your Apps.

DVLUP uses a game like model to create an inventive and competitive environment for developers to build successful Windows Phone applications. Developers earn badges and experience points by completing quizzes and challenges related to app development. By creating high-quality applications, developers can also earn additional points and unlock even greater opportunities. For instance, developers can promote their applications through the Windows Phone Store, App Social, in-app advertising, as well as by using print, digital, social and out-of-home media opportunities.

What is DVLUP?

DVLUP is a loyalty program designed by Nokia to help developers get their ideas into the marketplace, optimize them and be successful.

Who runs DVLUP?

Nokia leads the DVLUP program, with several partners.

How do I redeem points?

All redeemable items, including Campaigns, are available in the Rewards page. Simply check out as you would on an ecommerce site, and your points will be spent as cash would be.

Does it cost money to join?

DVLUP membership requires that users have Microsoft Developer Accounts. While DVLUP membership does not cost money, there is generally a small cost associated with a Microsoft Developer Account.

Do all countries offer prizes?

All countries have Badges and Points systems. Each country determines how the Reward system is implemented, and there will be variance from country to country.

How do I suggest a challenge?

The Feedback page is the best place to suggest a Challenge, since your peers in DVLUP can vote your idea to the top if they like it. Just like another fun website that everyone likes. You can also send your idea through the contact form.

How can I partner with DVLUP?

See the Contact Form and send a message to the Partnership option.

Can my company participate?

Currently, participation is only open to individuals. It gets complicated when a company is on the leaderboard, since we want to reward people, not corporations. We are exploring team entry systems, but it’s not currently a high priority project. If you feel strongly about it, please add it to Feedback for voting.
