Growth Economy Venture Challenge
Nokia’s Calling All Innovators competition has always been about trying to find the best big ideas for mobile applications from developers around the world.
There is a special call to Pakistani innovators. The site states:
The 2010 Calling All Innovators contest has a special prize for developers who submit locally relevant applications and content for use on Nokia devices by consumers living in Pakistan. The best entry by a developer based in Pakistan will receive a special prize of 1,000,000/- PKR in cash. Additionally, two runners-up will get 500,000/- PKR in cash and 300,000/- PKR in cash respectively. And remember, this is an additional incentive – you could still be a global winner in one of the four categories!*
