Sony Ericsson announced the winners of its second annual Content Awards competition, which honors the efforts of the third-party mobile content development community.

All winners will be flown to Sony Ericsson's development site in Lund, Sweden for a two-day visit to meet members of Sony Ericsson's senior management team and discuss business with the company's content decision makers.
