(via Symbian-freak) - Forum Nokia today announced Calling All Innovators 2010, an international application development contest designed to inspire creativity and change. Additionally, Forum Nokia has teamed up with Sesame Workshop, the producers behind Sesame Street, for the education subcategory of the life improvement category to encourage developers to create and offer applications to teach early literacy on Nokia devices to communities around the world.
Sesame Workshop will offer guidance during the judging process and work with select developers to further enhance relevant projects. Calling All Innovators 2010 features four categories for submissions that enhance the use of Nokia mobile devices in real-world scenarios:
