Nokia is Calling All Innovators

Hi all,

Calling All Innovators. This is the name that Nokia is calling its applications contest, which is very similar to Sony Ericsson's one published in our last post. It seems that the contests season is open. :)

They are seeking very innovative applications, developed in their main technologies (e.g. J2ME, Symbian, Flash Light, etc), that fits in one of the following areas:

• Eco-Challenge
• Emerging Markets
• Technology Showcase

As reward for the best application, in each area, the winner will receive $25,000 (USD) and showcase the application at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Second place winners, also in each area, will receive $10,000 and third place winners $5,000.

That's another great opportunity to show what you can do. As I said before, I will be participating in Sony Ericsson Content Awards, but if I figure something else out, why not join Nokia's one too? :)
