Hooked Media launches Android developer contest

December 13th, 2011, 23:24 Posted By: wraggster

Social gaming specialist teams up with Best Buy and others to reward app makers with distribution and exposure.
The "Get Discovered!" contest gives developers access to Best Buy's App Discovery Center, seed funding from Trinity Ventures and an online ads package from VentureBeat.
It's open to firms that make their games compatible with Hooked Media's discovery platform, which will track metrics including user rating, play-time and installations based on recommendations. The metrics will be used to determine the finalists.
The contest will feature two tracks – one for companies that have secured Series A financing and one for companies still seeking Series A financing.
Every game entered into the contest will use Hooked Media Groups' SDK and be integrated into the recently launched Hooked App, which is available for free in the Android Marketplace.
"The Android Marketplace has a wide array of undiscovered content and we are proud to team with Best Buy, Trinity Venture and VentureBeat to provide developers with a new way of reaching a wider audience," said Prita Uppal, CEO of Hooked Media Group.
