Participants include PhD students, researchers, artists, individual developers and the top ten mobile games publishers and developers in the world. The winners of the IMGAs will be announced at Mobile World Congress in February.

It should be interesting to see the smartphone breakdown of the winners. Will iPhone, which is known as a great gaming platform take all the awards? We might get surprised with a few titles from Nokia, considering the heavy European presence in the IMGAs.
