How to enter a mobile app award contest
Best Mobile App Awards accepts eligible mobile apps that are publicly available in an app marketplace and submitted in English. The entry process is designed to make the contest, the app information provided, and the review boundary clear before you submit.
Before you enter
- Review the open mobile app award contests and confirm the relevant deadline.
- Choose the contest and category that best represent your app.
- Prepare accurate information from your public Apple App Store or Google Play listing, including the app name, description, marketplace link, and current supporting details.
- Read the Judging Process so you understand the factors used after a contest closes.
Submit your entry
- Open the Submit Your App form.
- Import or provide your app information and select the appropriate contest entry option.
- Review the information for accuracy and complete the applicable payment to confirm entry for award review and eligibility.
Payment confirms that the app has been submitted for review and award consideration. It does not determine a judging outcome, ranking, nomination, or winner status.
What happens after submission?
Completed entries move through the established review workflow for their selected contest. Best Mobile App Awards announces new approved apps after reviews are completed on our social platforms. Results are released after review is complete, and selected winners are notified by email. You can later explore published outcomes on the Award Winners and Nominees pages.
If your app is recognized
Nominee resources
Approved nominees receive access to a Nominee Kit that includes an official HTML badge, social captions, an announcement draft, a public nominee link and mentions on our social feeds. Eligible nominees are also offered a separate, optional sponsored visibility campaign; it never affects judging, votes, rankings, or winner selection.
Winner resources
Selected winners can claim a free Winner Outcome Kit with badge embed code, social assets or captions, an announcement draft, a public winner link, and a practical promotion checklist. Optional physical awards are available separately and do not affect award selection.
Entry process FAQs
Which contest should I choose?
Choose the open contest and category that most closely fit the app you are entering. The current contest list and deadlines are the source of truth for what is available.
Can entering earlier improve my result?
No. Entering earlier in an open contest does not provide a judging advantage. Submit before the published deadline and ensure that the app details are accurate.
