Mobile Premier Awards Online Jury
Thursday, January 21st, 2010To make the finalist selection as transparent and open to the industry as possible, the Mobile Premier Awards brought together an online jury of industry experts to select the best startups, out of the 49 MPA in Innovation Nominees, selected by MobileMonday chapters around the globe.
The startups are valued on the basis of their:
- originality, creativity and innovation
- technical and operational feasibility
- economic and financial viability
The jury members need to consider geographical diversity, keeping a good balance between different countries and continents. Jury members may not select a startup from their own country or have any commercial activity with any of the startups they choose.
We ask the jury members to choose startups with a cool mobile product, avoiding agencies, pure technology or low value me-too propositions. We stimulate diversity of application and solution areas, and we ask them to keep an eye open at the startups from developing countries.
