The 2008 Best App Ever Awards nominees have now been announced and the voting is open. Sponsored by 148Apps, the inaugural competition is the first iPhone OS Application achievement awards to recognize the best iPhone apps and games released in the in Apple App Store in 2008. The goal is to help publicize the very best apps available, not just the best-selling apps.
The nomination process lasted a little over two weeks and saw 17,758 nominations for 1,259 different apps submitted to the site. In addition to the public nominations, a committee of industry people and iPhone developers was gathered to help nominate apps. Five nominees from the public and 5 nominees from the committee were combined to come up with the nominees for each category.
In addition to the individual overall application categories, the top 10 vote getters overall will be up for the award of Best App Ever. Voting is open from Dec. 31 through Jan. 6. Winners will be announced on Jan. 7 at the 2009 Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, and will be posted to BestAppEver.com shortly after.
