Mobile Monday Barcelona

MobileMonday created a Global Peer Award miniwebsite where you can find all the related info to participate to the Global Peer Awards 2007 in Barcelona on February 12. Information on the program, the awards, how to subscribe, how to mominate a company, how to become a sponsor, venue, etc. This is your chance to witness some of the world’s best mobile innovations. Selected by industry peers, peer award finalists will compete live before the community and a world class jury.

The offical nomination registration is now open for companies to become a nominee and make it to the final. Each MobileMonday chapter will choose their favourite mobile startup company on January 31st to come and present his project to the jury of experts at the event in Barcelona.

Note that some chapters have chosen a different process to select their winner: some chapters just choose their runner for the final, others organised (or organise) a pre-selection, some have worked through a shortlist of nominees and voting through their local community members. Please check with your local MoMo website for more details.
