In order to promote its newly unveiled kick-ass smartphone and get some content for its widget platform, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is running the Nokia N97 Widget Competition. According to the official blog post, this is a chance for everyone to be part the Nokia Nseries innovation process by designing a homescreen widget for the forthcoming Nokia N97.
All the tools needed for widget creation are available and if you win the contest, your widget will go into production. In addition, you’ll also receive Nokia N97 ahead of the public release, pre-installed with your homescreen widget.
Want to give it a try? Here’s a link from where you can get additional information as well as download the design package mentioned above.

I don’t really understand what they’re asking for. How much can you get done in a 360 x 60 pixel jpeg? That seems far too thin for the N97. And how can a jpeg image represent usablility? I thought this would be a programming competition.
Hi,
This is a great idea.
@ Johnny, their are some examples online now.
I need to know where to start from. Can I use Qt/Embedded for making widgets.
