It will be the biggest night in the content industry calendar, with over 400 execs from all over the world arriving in London to celebrate industry excellence.
There will be 19 awards across three categories comprising Development & Publishing, Services, and Handsets & Operators. We’ll also be handing out a Special Award for the outstanding contribution to mobile content.
The Finalists for this year's awards can be seen below. The ME Awards are democratic. The prizes go to companies, not products or services, and are judged by a panel of over 400 industry execs.
These individuals make their decisions based upon their own knowledge of the market, with the ME Awards supplement for reference. The company with the most votes wins. Simple!
