WSA-mobile emphasizes cultural diversity and identity, the creation of varied information content and the digitalization of educational, scientific and cultural heritage. It aims to make the benefits of the new Information Society accessible and meaningful for all humanity, and in particular, to raise public awareness and give deserved public recognition to the highest quality e-Content, produced all over the world. As of today, around 160 countries actively participate in the initiative.
National pre-selections for the WSA-mobile run through experts in respective countries. The only way to apply for WSA-mobile is to be nominated by the national expert. I have been asked to serve as the USA national expert and am seeking nominations right now.

If your company and/or client is US based, submit via my nomination wiki (http://wsamobile.pbworks.com/). If not, you’ll need to reach out to the appropriate national expert. Let’s show the real power of mobile content in action!
