Social gaming specialist teams up with Best Buy and others to reward app makers with distribution and exposure.
The "Get Discovered!" contest gives developers access to Best Buy's App Discovery Center, seed funding from Trinity Ventures and an online ads package from VentureBeat.
It's open to firms that make their games compatible with Hooked Media's discovery platform, which will track metrics including user rating, play-time and installations based on recommendations. The metrics will be used to determine the finalists.
The contest will feature two tracks – one for companies that have secured Series A financing and one for companies still seeking Series A financing.
Every game entered into the contest will use Hooked Media Groups' SDK and be integrated into the recently launched Hooked App, which is available for free in the Android Marketplace.
"The Android Marketplace has a wide array of undiscovered content and we are proud to team with Best Buy, Trinity Venture and VentureBeat to provide developers with a new way of reaching a wider audience," said Prita Uppal, CEO of Hooked Media Group.

"Every developer that enters the contest will have their games integrated into our platform, which will allow consumers to more easily find their content, so every developer that enters will gain exposure and potential installs."
The competition finishes in an event in March at Dolores Labs, an incubator space in the Mission district of San Francisco.
