* A brief description of your company's core activities
* Some indication of the uniqueness of your offering
* Descriptions of key products and services

Please keep it relatively short. We've been writing about mobile content for six years so we probably know about you anyway. Your submission is designed to ensure we've got the latest info from you.

WHO'S ELIGIBLE?

DEVELOPMENT & PUBLISHING

Best Gambling Company
Plenty of companies have placed bets on mobile gambling, but who has really cashed in? This award is for innovators that have successfully deployed a gambling game, app or platform – and negotiated the tricky world of app stores and the mobile web.

Best Adult Company

Any company developing or producing original adult content, taking erotic brands to mobile or creating new channels for existing adult products, either on operator decks or app stores.

Best Games Company
Any company that develops/publishes games through app stores or operator portals. Particular attention will be paid to innovation in business models in addition to quality of product.

Best Location Company
Any company active in the LBS market that can demonstrate innovation in terms of technology, monetisation, advertising, partnerships and so on.

Best Social Media Company
Any company that can point to real results in building mobile communities – and it wouldn't hurt to show how the service has made money rather than just building traffic.

Best App Developer
We're looking for any app developer that can demonstrate real innovation and success in the non-games space, be it branded apps, ticketing, ebooks, education, utilities and more. 

SERVICES

Any company providing operators, content portals or media companies with a platform to power commercial mobile TV and video streaming/download services.

Best Mobile Publishing Platform
Companies providing a suite of services that help brands establish dedicated mobile sites or apps through which to promote or sell their products.
 
Best Advertising Network
Any firm providing an ad network through which publishers can monetise their apps and sites. We'll be looking for innovation in terms of targeting and monetisation in addition to pure monthly page impressions.
