This award honors a campaign or social app by a brand, agency or organization that effectively and creatively uses gaming elements to increase engagement and virality. Please note that the entry doesn't need to be for a game, it just needs to incorporate gaming mechanics such as points, leader boards, badges, incentives and challenges.
