The most successful mobile brands and apps were awarded last night at the 2011 Australian Mobile Awards.

Awards were received by some of the largest companies in mobile and included Sensis, Fairfax, Domain.com.au and the ABC.

The chairman’s selection, the Gold Mobie, was awarded to Temporary Gallery, a crowd sourced online creative community, for the Temporary Gallery App. The award includes a 12-month industry mentoring scholarship to the value of $10,000 from leading members of the mobile industry.

“Winning the Gold Mobie gives us a fantastic opportunity to bring collective corporate intelligence into our community based creative platform,” said Temporary Gallery co-founder Erik Rathmayr.

The Mobile Awards were decided by a combination of a public vote and a detailed judging panel review comprising a variety of leading figures from across the mobile landscape.

“We’ve seen a fantastic response to the Mobile Awards and it’s terrific that some of Australia’s largest brands are not just active in mobile, but creating engaging and entertaining experiences for people, the best of which we’re seeing in the Mobies,” said Mark Bergin the Australian Mobile Awards director.
