The awards will honor excellence in mobile advertising and campaigns and marketing communications that were published or run on mobile devices during the period from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012. Works of distinction in expressiveness and design sense and marketing techniques exploiting mobile’s advantages will be singled out for awards. Candidate works in the Marketing Category and Creative Category are being widely recruited between February 1 and April 16 on the official Mobile Ad Awards website, www.mobileadawards.com (PC access). Entries will be considered and selected through a stringent examination conducted by the nine-member Mobile Ad Awards Selection Committee led by Mitsuaki Shimaguchi, Professor Emeritus of Keio University and including Takeshi Natsuno, who was instrumental in the development of i-mode and Naoki Ito, who has received awards at the Cannes International Advertising Festival for three consecutive years, the most for a Japanese citizen.
