London, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - The nominations for the 13th Annual Global Mobile Awards were announced today by the GSMA in London.
The winners will be presented at the gala awards dinner on Tuesday 12th February, during the world's biggest communications industry event, the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (11-14th February 2008).
The GSMA also announced that International comedian Graham Norton will host this year's awards ceremony, which promises to be a highlight of the congress calendar, as well as the GSMA's celebrations of twenty years of global mobile communications.
With the most diverse range of entries in the 13 year history of the competition, the judging panel -- see: http:/www.globalmobileawards.com/judges/bios.shtml -- were faced with a challenging and demanding task in evaluating the submissions and electing the nominees. Categories range from best mobile handset to a host of mobile entertainment awards, for games, video, music, advertising and social networking services.
