诺基亚移动应用开发大赛起止时间为1月和6月，提供的总奖金数达150万美元（奖金数为50万美金，另外100万美金为风险基金 ）。本次大赛参与开发的应用需要具备改变人们日常生活的潜力才会被视为入围（需要具有革新性，请参与者了解清楚），开发人员可以有四种类型的应用可供选择。

第一种是生态公益型的（Being Green，看看科学美国人杂志怎么解释这个词），该类型的应用需要教导人们较少碳排放，以拯救生存环境。

第二种是消闲娱乐型的（Entertainment，看看维基百科怎么解释这个词），在诺基亚最新的移动设备中去尝试以音乐、多媒体等各种形式改变人们的生活。

第三种是效能型的（Productivity，看看维基百科怎么解释这个词），移动科技的真实未来在设备的效能。你可以畅想手机移动技术对于个人理财、商务活动等等的有效推动。而这一些，就是诺基亚希望开发人员提前设想的。

第四种是改善生活型的（Life Improvement，看看calling all innovators怎么解释这个词），让移动技术在发展中国家关于教育、健康预期、农艺等方面大展拳脚。诺基亚希望看到的是一个简单的应用，但是却能改变数千人的生活。

每一类型的前三名都将获奖总值5万美元的奖励，具体分配为：

第一名，获得 3万美元

第二名，获得1.5万美元

第三名，获得5000美元

在这四大奖项以外，还有几大综合类奖项，他们分别是：

最佳Nokia N900（了解N900）应用插件，奖金5万美元

最佳跨平台应用插件，奖金5万美元

最佳移动计算机应用插件，奖金5万美元

除了这些大奖之外，你还可以了解到其他的一些有价值的奖项（多数价值在1000欧元以内，详细清单）。

诺基亚特别提示，本次移动应用开发大赛面向全球开发商，因此实际上任何一个参与者想拔得头筹并不是那么容易。

了解比利时赛区、了解荷兰赛区、了解巴基斯坦赛区、了解匈牙利赛区、了解澳大利亚赛区、了解中华赛区、了解俄罗斯赛区、了解越南赛区、了解捷克赛区、了解斯洛伐克赛区、了解罗马尼亚赛区、了解埃及赛区、了解西班牙赛区、了解土耳其赛区。

当然更加具备诱惑力的是，好的应用将有可能获得来自诺基亚提供的100万美元的风险资金（看看这100万美金怎么处理）。

GLOBAL – With up to $1.5million USD up for grabs, the Calling All Innovators competition, first announced in January, is hotting up. And with the June deadline for submissions looming, now is the time to get your submission planned, if you’re not already. The challenge is simple in concept: create an app that has the power to change lives. Read on after the jump to find out more.

Developers can submit apps to four different categories:

* Eco/Being Green – Despite what a certain frog says, it’s not so easy being green. Design an app that will take the pain out of preserving the planet: one that helps individuals reduce their personal carbon footprint or make more environmentally sound purchases.

* Entertainment – We want you to rock our world and change lives using the music, multimedia or gaming features available on the latest Nokia mobile devices.

* Productivity – The true promise of mobile technology is efficiency on the go. Can you think of a way to use mobile technology to streamline personal finances, business operations or utility consumption? We want to hear from you.

* Life Improvement – We know that mobile technology can improve the education, health prospects and agricultural output in developing countries. We want you to show us how a simple app can better the lives of thousands.

The prizes on offer are pretty astounding. Each category has prizes for the top three amounting to $50,000 per category:

Grand Prize: $30,000 USD in cash.

2nd Prize: $15,000 USD in cash.

3rd Prize: $5,000 USD in cash.

There are also a selection of prizes which go across all four categories and can be awarded regardless of whether the app is a category finalist. These include:

Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 (USD) in cash.

Best cross-platform application using Qt: $50,000 (USD) in cash.

Best mobile computing application: $50,000 (USD) in cash, plus the winner of this special prize will be included in a multi-million dollar global marketing campaign that will be used to help promote the winning app.

Best locally relevant application with global potential: $15,000 (USD) in cash.

You might think that’d be it in the prize stakes, but you’d be wrong. There’s more on offer in local countries as well, for Calling All Innovators is a global competition, with a selection of localised mini competitions running alongside. Some of the countries taking part will be offering additional local prizes (check out the full list here).

Ideas for Calling All Innovators can be submitted via the Calling All Innovators website up to the end of the Nokia Developer Summit on June 10 2010, with the award ceremony for finalists taking place at Nokia World in September.

So that’s it for prizes then? Erm, no, actually. Running alongside the Calling All Innovators competition is Nokia’s Growth Economy Venture Challenge where a $1million USD venture capital investment is on offer to the creator of an app which has been designed exclusively to help improve the lives of others (think Nokia Life Tools).
