Category prize winners receive USD 150K each for a total of USD 4 million and grand prize winners receive an additional USD 100K each. Although submissions must be relevant for the North American consumer, developers from around the world can participate.Winning developers will also receive more than USD 6 million in marketing promotion by Nokia and AT&T in the North American market."The commitment from Nokia is a clear message that we are serious about the North American market," said Purnima Kochikar, VP Forum Nokia.
