Are you a mobile app developer?  You think you have the best idea to program the best mobile appl that can change the world for the better? Then, you might want to join Nokia’s Calling All Innovators 2010 contest. At stake is $1M prize money.

Due to the overwhelming success of 2009’s Calliing All Innovators Contest, Nokia is doing it again this year. And this time Nokia has teamed up with “Sesame Street”, yes THE Sesame Street that we all grown up to love.  The objective of contest is to show to the world that developers/programmers/coders can “do good business and do good” at the same time.  In other words, that developers are not your robotic geek whose only concern is to come up with the coolest application that VC’s will be willing to fund.

These year’s contest has four categories – Eco/Being Green, Productivity, Entertainment and Life Improvement. Remember, your mobile application should “bring hope and higher living standards” to third world markets.

If you have no idea what those types of mobile apps should be, some examples would have to be mobile applications for crop monitoring, weather tracking, pricing and other apps that ought to improve human lives.

Ready to take on the challenge?  Find out more details about here.

And here’s a short video of last year’s winner accepting his prize.
