Grand Prize: Pour un nouveau capitalisme

This application (which means “For a New Capitalism”) teaches users about “Social Business” through quizzes and slideshows and encourages users to submit ideas for how to harness the power of capitalism for social good. The submitter of the winning idea will get to meet Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammed Yunis in Paris on March 6.

1st Prize: Que penses-tu de moi?

This app (”What do you think of me?”) is like others we’ve seen in English and lets users evaluate their friends and see what your friends think of you.

2nd Prize: Suceurs de Sang

This is a game (called “Blood Sucking”) reminiscent of Blake Commagere’s Vampires…

Grand Prize: Publistars

This app is a game where you take quizzzes on your knowledge of the advertising world. It’s a well designed Flash game by SocialPoint that feels a lot like the high quality games made by Playfish.

1st Prize: Mariposa Mensajeras

Mariposa Mensajeras (”Butterfly Messengers”… I actually knew that one) is a virtual gifting app where users can send different kides of butterflies to their friends.

2nd Prize: Carnival Party

This is a virtual gifting app around Carnival, which we hear is pretty popular.

Congratulations to all the winners! And for those interested in reaching the French and Spanish markets on Facebook, be sure to check out La Bible du Marketing sur Facebook (Francais) and La Biblia del Mercadero en Facebook (Espanol)!
