Announcing the ★★ App Star Awards 2 ★★ in partnership with 360iDev conference
We received so many requests, that we could not ignore it. So we decided to organize a new edition of the App Star Awards, our contest to highlight and reward new and brilliant upcoming apps.
The first edition was a real blast and our winners (and even finalists) really enjoyed this contest and the energy it gave them to become real top apps in the App Store. We even enjoyed ourself watching a major cellular operator picking our name for their own contest :)
This time organize the App Star Awards 2 in partnership with 360iDev, one of the largest iPhone developer event in the USA, where we'll announce on stage the results of this great contest (on April 12th in San Jose)
★★★★★

Only one rule, any app is eligible as long as it is not yet submitted to Apple by March 26th (it has to be a new app, and a legit * no jailbreak * app) - rules here

Rewards, Rewards, RewardsWe changed a little bit the format of the rewards: last time we noticed that what mattered most to developers was the spotlights they were receiving before and after the contest and less the cash that was, let's say it, mainly symbolic. To make things a little sexier each winner will go home with one iPad but also a free ad campaign that will have more importance in this edition (rules here)
So this time we gathered an awesome line up of media sponsors that will altogether provide tremendous boost to the winners, once their app is in the app store.
★ Top buzz and Uber-Jury
We also have a fantastic line up of partners who are going to help us make as much (quality) noise as possible around this contest. Those include
And finally we have a wonderful group of people constituting our Uber-Jury (those who will decide who win). Most of the previous jury came back and some new faces have joined:
Robert Scoble, Chris Pirillo, Patrick Jordan, Jyri Engestrom (Jaiku), Frank Gruber (Tech Coktail), Mike Butcher, Marshall Kirkpatrick (Read Write Web), Zee (The NextWeb), Raven Zachary, Jeff Scott (148apps)......Just to name a few! If you want we got them all in a twitter list here
A few more will be announced soon
We also want to thank Kettle for their awesome work on the design of the App Star 2 site.
So! for now that's all. Pre-registration are open. Submissions will start March 21st. So if you are planning an app for soon, you probably want to hold one for the App Star Awards!
We leave you with this great Rap-Star created by our friends at UsTwo
