The jury event had been held successfully with 8 companies presenting their solution in front of the jury, to select top 3 finalists. (We’ve got few photos in Flickr: Jury Session Set)

The top 3 finalists will be invited to do a final presentation in front of their peers during the next MobileMonday gathering scheduled on Monday, May 26, 2008 at Amigos Restaurant, Bellagio Boutique Mall, Mega Kuningan, Jakarta.

The judges rated all participants in 5 categories, i.e. (1) Innovation/Creativity, (2) Uniqueness, (3) Commercial & Business Value, (4) Global Marketability, (5) Presentation Skills. The score resulted in a ranking of participants by each judge, which then is compared across all judges’ rankings to get the Top 3. (Sounds complicated, but it’s actually rather simple)

We are happy to announce, based on the result of the jury session, 3 finalists had been selected, i.e. in no particular order:

• MORE, by PT More Indonesia
• Virtual Tribe, by ViTribe from Binus University
• 12Frenz, by PT Mobafone Indonesia

The finalists will receive a formal letter to confirm the result.

Congratulations for MORE, Virtual Tribe, and 12Frenz.

Again, thank you for all the shortlist and all applicants of Peer Awards 2008. We are confident that by being Peer Awards 2008 Shortlist, your company will receive enough publication and exposure, local and regional/global. All the best for you, and keep innovating!
