To support Nokia’s new strategy to deliver phones and services for the next billion, the company has just announced the Create for Millions contest. Submit your best Series 40 Java or web apps, and you could win your share of 1 million euros’ worth of cash and prizes.
Developers may submit Series 40 and web apps in any of four categories:
- In the Know: Apps that focus on news and local information.
- Fun & Games: Entertainment and gaming apps.
- Emotional Closeness: Social networking apps.
- Access to Knowledge: Apps the help consumers improve their lives – education, health, etc.
Within each category, there will be 10 cash prizes, with a top prize of 50,000 euros. These winning apps also will be promoted by Nokia in several venues, including online, social media, and newsletters. In addition, the top app in each category will receive both a free user experience (UX) consultation from Nokia and support from a design agency to create promotional banners.
Three special prizes will be awarded, too:
- Best touch feature: The winner will receive 25,000 euros.
