Nokia is one of the sponsors of this years' [http://mobiledevcamp.fi/ Mobile Dev-Camp] in Helsinki. Part of the engagement there is a developer competition. For the details please follow up on this page.

== Competition ==

Around the event there will be a competition and Nokia will organise one Category. Follow up in the Q&A what to expect and how you can participate:

=== What do I have to do? ===

Sign up, wait until the rules are out, have a brilliant idea, start coding, and present the application on the event. One thing, which we can say already:

* the application has to be written in Qt
* it has to work either on a Symbian device or the N900.

=== What can I win? ===

The winner-team of the competition gets:

* 1xN900 if your application runs on Maemo
* 1xN97 mini, if your application runs on Symbian
* 1xN900 '''AND''' 1xN97 mini if the application runs on both systems.

You can win if your application is implemented according to the rules, we release 48 hours before the event, and if it is selected as the best application by a jury.

=== What are the rules? ===

* You have '''48 hours''' to write an application!
* You will get basic support at the event itself and in the maemo MDC irc channel!
* We will publish the topic on Thursday before the event at 17:00 (UTC).

=== How can I prepare? ===

Check the information in the getting started section of this page. Further join the IRC channel on freenode (#nokia_MDC) to get support with the set-up.

=== How can I participate? ===

You can participate alone or as a group. Sign up by adding your data on the [[MDC#Participants_list | participants list]] or sending it to daniel[dot]wilms[at]nokia[dot]com! Check the topic out, when it will be published on Thursday. Start coding and present your idea at the event.
