In making the decision to inaugurate our mobile app on the Windows Phone platform , we also made a conscious effort to take advantage of every opportunity to demonstrate and promote FotoJelly and our vision of how easy group photo sharing should be.

So we were very pleased this week to learn that FotoJelly for Windows Phone has been selected as one of four grand prize winners in the Windows Phone "30 to Launch Challenge"!

Our selection was the result of peer voting to determine the Top 20 and final judging by a panel from Microsoft. Criteria included the use of Windows Phone 7.5 features, innovation & originality, and market potential in the mobile app category. 

It's been a challenging journey getting to this point in our startup; to say that we needed this pick-me-up would be an understatement. So, a big thank you to Microsoft for supporting the startup community through programs like 30 to Launch and BizSpark. And a very big thank you to our users, fans, advisors and mentors.
