The Crown Prince Government Application Award (CPGAA) is an annual award that motivates college and university students in Jordan to design smartphone applications that propose innovative solutions to government services. The Award supports modernizing these services in a way that makes them accessible, efficient, and youth friendly.

CPGAA was launched by the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) in 2019 and is managed in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship.
