Nokia offers 70 grand in innovative mobile game competition

Determined to encourage the development of, "innovative game concepts with the power to positively disrupt the global mobile gaming industry," Nokia has set up a global Games Innovation Challenge.



The three most innovative game concepts will be offered Nokia Publishing pre-production contracts, targeting publication of their winning concept on the corresponding Nokia device platform. In addition, the first winner will be awarded €40,000, the second €20,000, and the third €10,000 to enable the participant to further develop the concept.



You can submit your entry right now at the dedicated website, but you have until August 20 to think of an innovative mobile game idea. So, that's no block-sorting puzzlers, no pool sims or poker sims, no platformers, no board game or movie conversions, no retro TV revivals, no isometric lifestyle sims, no scrolling shooters and absolutely no crazy golf.

Any takers? Shall we have an official Gamesblog entry?
