When one of our applications was featured in the BlackBerry App World, we were contacted by RIM directly.

However, RIM has a section in their BlackBerry App World FAQ which addresses this:

Can I nominate my application to be featured in the Featured Items section on BlackBerry App World?

Yes. To nominate your application, you must send an email to blackberryappworldmarketing@rim.com with the following information:

• Vendor name
• Application name
• Target region for application content (ex. Global, North America, Canada etc.)

What are the requirements for the Spotlight Image?

The Spotlight Image must meet the following specifications:

• File Format: PNG
• Edges not rounded off

What are the requirements for the Spotlight Description?

Translations: you must provide an English Spotlight Description. In addition to English, you must provide a translation of the Spotlight Description for each of the languages supported by your nominated application

What factors are taken into consideration when selecting feature applications?

The following items are considered when selecting feature applications:

• Vendor account must be in good standing

• Application must be Up for Sale

• Positive user reviews and application rating (3+ star rating)

• Vendor participation on BlackBerry App World (number of applications in BlackBerry App World, forum participation etc.)

• End-user context (regional events, holidays etc.)

When will I know if my application will be featured?

In the event your application is selected to be featured, you’ll be contacted (via email provided in nomination) 1-4 weeks prior to feature placement.
