    Good afternoon, Habr!
    We need your brains! :)

    We invite you to participate in the competition for developers for the Nokia Asha Touch platform.

The total prize pool of the competition of € 230,000 will be divided between 15 participants. 12 winners will be determined in four main categories (“Music and Entertainment”, “News and Information”, “Games”, “Utilities and Productivity”): € 25,000 for first place, € 15,000 for second and € 10,000 - for third place. Three more participants will receive special prizes of € 10,000 (for the best web application, the best new idea and the best UX).
