Macworld Best of Show details announced

The Macworld Best of Show Awards, presented each year at Macworld Conference & Expo to the best products making their debut at the annual trade show, will be unveiled during a live, on-stage Feature Presentation at the January 2008 expo.

The Best of Show ceremony will be held on January 16 at 2:45 p.m. at the Moscone Center. Open to all registered attendees, the ceremony will give everyone a chance to hear from the Macworld editors explain why certain products were chosen for the award.

"Last year we brought the very best products on display at Macworld Expo to the attendees live on stage for the first time, and the event was a big hit," said Jason Snell, VP/Editorial Director of Macworld. "We're looking forward to making this an annual tradition in which our editors show off to the world the very best the Mac can offer."

The process for exhibitors to submit their products for Best of Show consideration is very similar to last year. In order to be guaranteed consideration, exhibitors will need to submit their products to Macworld's editors by December 22, 2007. (Macworld's editors will sign confidentiality agreements to cover products that won't be announced until the show begins.)

While Macworld will work with all developers to ensure that their products are considered for the Best of Show awards, only products received before the deadline can be guaranteed consideration for the Best of Show.

If you're showing a product at Macworld Expo in January, you can submit your product or ask for more information on the Best of Show by mailing us directly at bestofshow@macworld.com.
