Q: What are the BREW Developer Awards?
A: The BREW Developer Awards recognize an outstanding array of diverse and innovative BREW applications. For exact requirements and step-by-step instructions, please see the BREW Developer Awards Rules.

Q: Who is eligible to enter?
A: The BREW Developer Awards are open to publishers and developers worldwide, as well as to all individuals age 18 and over. All applications submitted must be developed for Qualcomm's BREW platform. The principals of the publisher and/or developer company named on the entry form cannot be Qualcomm employees.

Q: When is the deadline for submissions?
A: The BREW 2007 Developer Awards call for submissions is now open. All online entry forms and application demos must be received by March 14, 2007 to be considered.

Q: What should I include with my entry?
A: In addition to completing the online entry form, you will need to submit a demo of your application in order to complete your nomination. Please note that participating publishers/developers are asked to submit only an application demo (requirements listed below), not an application-loaded handset as was required in years past.

Q: How many entries may I submit?
A: One company may submit up to five separate BREW applications across multiple categories. Each individual BREW application may only be submitted for one category per year. One BREW application cannot be submitted for multiple categories. All forms, regardless of region, must be completed in English. An email will be sent confirming receipt of your entry form.

Q: May I use one entry form to submit an entry for two or more categories?
A: No. Each application must have its own entry form in a category.

Q: Does my application need to be commercially available?
A: With the exception of the "Best Up and Coming Application" and "Best Public Service Application" categories, all nominated applications must be commercially available on an operator's BREW service by February 28, 2007. Your application is considered commercial when subscribers are able to download the application onto a commercial handset. Applications that have passed TRUE BREW® testing, but are not yet commercially available, are not eligible.

Entries for the "Best Up and Coming Application" category must be pre-commercial applications that are, at minimum, in the Beta stage of development. The "Best Public Service Application" category is open to commercial or pre-commercial applications that are at minimum, in the Beta stage.

Q: How will the entries be judged?
A: Entries will be judged using a "scorecard" system based on the following criteria: ease of use, originality, cool factor, features and shows evidence of success or likelihood of success (for pre-commercial entries in the "Best Up and Coming Application" and "Best Public Service Application" categories).

Q: How do I find out whether or not I've won?
A: Finalists will be announced May 21, 2007. BREW 2007 winners will be revealed at the awards ceremony, held at BREW 2007 in San Diego, CA, June 20 – 22, 2007.

Q: Who do I contact if I have additional questions?
A: Please direct all inquiries regarding the BREW 2007 Developer Awards to: brew2007awards@qualcomm.com. Depending on the volume of inquiries received, we will aim to respond within three to five business days.
