Judging Process

The BREW 2007 Developer Awards will be judged by an anonymous panel of wireless industry experts from around the world. Using a "scorecard" system for each entry, judging for each category will be 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).

Three finalists per award category (except for the People's Choice Award) will be selected based on a points system. Finalists will be announced by May 21, 2007. Each finalist will be supplied with additional information approximately four weeks prior to the conference. All finalists will be automatically considered for the People's Choice award, giving conference attendees the opportunity to vote for their favorite application across all categories.

• Inclusion in a Qualcomm-issued press release announcing the awards finalists
• Promotion of their application on the awards Web site
• Exposure before and during the conference as attendees will be encouraged to vote for their favorite finalist application in the People's Choice Awards
• Finalists exhibiting in the partner pavilion at BREW 2007 will be identified as an awards finalist with a sign at their booth
• Employees of finalist companies attending BREW 2007 will be distinguished with a special awards finalist badge

The application receiving the highest total number of points in its category will be named the winner at the awards ceremony, held at the BREW 2007 Conference in San Diego, June 20 – 22, 2007.
