Signing up to the Mobile Premier Awards is really easy. All it takes is registering at dotopen.com, set up and publish your company profile.
dotopen requires you to verify the email address you used to sign up. Assuming the email you typed in during sign-up was correct, you can look for an email from dotopen.com asking to verify your email address (sometimes these messages accidentally end up in spam folders). You can click a verification link from that email message, and you should be able to sign in using that email from now on.
If you can’t remember your password, you can recover your password by entering the email address associated with your account. You will receive a password reset email sent to that address. If you don’t receive it, make sure to check your spam folder.
Here’s a great example of a good company profile that has relevant information for the jury to make their decision. Don’t hesitate to use the project and media tabs to boost your profile. You can easily add video and slideshare presentations about your product or service or even past pitches at other events.
After publishing your profile, click the Mobile Premier Awards banner that will bring you to the award sign up box. You can select as many award categories as you think you have a chance to win.
Remember that the innovation award goes through a nomination process at your local MobileMonday to get a chance at delivering a live pitch in Barcelona. All the other awards will be given based on the information in your profile at dotopen.com

Hi, what is the criteria for a ’startup’? I want to enter but not sure if the company i have in mind can still be categorised as a start up – its a couple of years old and well funded!
We have received several questions along these lines and rightfully so, startup is not really a technical term.
If you wonder if your project is a startup, you can use this one from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_company) : A startup company or start-up is a company with a limited operating history. These companies, generally newly created, are in a phase of development and research for markets.
If you feel you qualify as a startup, you should apply. For the Innovation award, if your local chapter feels that you are the best submitted innovative startup they should nominate you. The international Jury that will select the finalist will also use its judgement before selecting the finalists for Barcelona.
In our experience, this decentralized process of selection is enough to filter out non-qualifying submissions.
In any case, all submissions must fulfill two bare-minimum requirements:
a) that it is an organization, not an individual, that applies; and
b) that it has a unique URL describing its activity/project/product/service.
So, participate for a chance of mobile innovation glory =)
Good luck, everyone!
