Winners and finalists chosen from thousands of developers responding to the challenges
to make a difference in the world

London, UK - Today at the Nokia Developer Summit, the company is proud to announce the
winners of the global Calling All Innovators contest and the finalists in the Growth
Economy Venture Challenge - both with the common goal to create mobile applications,
services or solutions intended to save the environment, lift spirits, improve
productivity, raise the standard of living within growth economies, and educate and
contribute to a healthy lifestyle. The winners and finalists will be acknowledged at
the award ceremony, to be held on September 15 in the International Convention Centre
(ICC) in London.

For its third consecutive year, Nokia challenged developers to demonstrate their
creative and innovative side and design mobile applications, widgets, products, or
services that make a difference in people's everyday lives and contribute to the
economies of developing countries. In all, 1,500 developers worldwide responded to
Nokia's challenges.

"We received a significant amount of interest on a global scale in both competitions.
The developers on this year's list are at the nexus of change, using their unique
insight to create a variety of well-thought out and innovative apps, services and
solutions with the potential to enhance lives around the world. From improving early
childhood literacy to sharing news to choosing eco-friendly activities, these apps
deliver on the promise of mobile apps making an impact on the social economics of
emerging markets," said Purnima Kochikar, Vice President, Forum Nokia and Developer
Community. "Developers exceeded our expectations and we congratulate the winners and
finalists selected for this year's awards."

Calling All Innovators - The Challenge
Calling All Innovators is an annual app development competition presenting developers
with the task of creating apps that fall into four diverse categories: Life Improvement,
Eco/Being Green, Productivity and Entertainment. This year, Forum Nokia has teamed up
with Sesame Workshop, the folks responsible for the iconic children's TV show Sesame
Street, to help support apps relevant to education in the Life Improvement category with
the goal to persuade developers to create exciting apps, perhaps using Sesame Street
characters, to teach early literacy through Nokia handsets to children located anywhere
in the world.

Awards and Prizes
Several cash prizes will be offered in the Calling All Innovators contest. The top
three submissions in each of the four categories will be rewarded in cash as follows:

- Grand Prize: USD 30,000
- First runner-up: USD 15,000
- Second runner-up: USD 5,000
- Third runner-up: USD 2,000

Furthermore, all application submissions - finalists or not - will be eligible to win
special prizes spanning the four categories. The cash prizes are based on the type of
technology that was used to create the app or other award criteria. Other valuable
prizes will also be offered - to view the complete list of prizes and eligibility,
please visit us at this website. Judges will carefully test the top 25 submitted apps
using one of two remote device access services - either Remote Device Access from Forum
Nokia, or Forum Nokia Virtual Developer Lab, powered by Device Anywhere. Each of the
top 25 submissions are required to also submit their applications to publish to Ovi and
be in the QA process for publishing to Nokia's Ovi Store. A panel of Nokia executives
judges, will meticulously review all submitted applications and choose the finalists and
winners based on the following criteria: quality/functionality, uniqueness, novelty
value and innovativeness, usability/creativity, and commercial viability/market
potential.

Growth Economy Venture Challenge
The Growth Economy Venture Challenge was inspired by Nokia's CEO. Developers were
required to submit their best idea for a new mobile product or solution designed to
improve the lives of people in the developing world. Judges look for one idea that has
risen above the rest, an idea that changes the way people use Nokia mobile devices,
demonstrates how mobility can radically improve the lives of people who reside in areas
where the average income is under USD 5 / day, or an idea that recognizes a good
business opportunity that also contributes to "doing good" in the world. This challenge
is more than just about mobile apps - the winner and idea can be hardware, software or a
new service opportunity.

Awards and Prizes
The winner of this contest is eligible to receive USD 1 million in venture capital
investment, and support from Nokia to help turn the idea into a reality.

Judges for this challenge will select the winner based on the following criteria: the
idea must include a clear mission statement and provide a product or service plan that
raises the standard of living or enhances the lives of people in emerging markets,
targets a market in a region with per capita income significantly lower than what is
found in industrialized nations today (i.e. below USD 5 /day), and includes a viable
business model with the likelihood of producing a strong return on investment (ROI) for
the venture funding provided.

Applicants leapt to the challenges issued by Forum Nokia. The Calling All Innovators
website, which hosts both contests, has received more than 845,000 visitors throughout
the submission process for both competitions.
