The Google Play Awards
Google Play Awards are a great way to get recognition from the best in the industry. It’s like getting awarded by those who are the very people behind Android. In short, the best acknowledgment that you can get. The standard gets raised and the competition gets tougher every year.
Whether you are a game developer or you have developed an app that is plainly out of the box or something that helped users; whether you are a startup or have been reigning the era with your apps, there is a category for all.
Award Categories
