Nokia sent out an invitation for anyone in the world to enter the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards. Entries must be no longer than 2 minutes long and have something to do with an act of kindness, someone inspiring, the best part of the day or something that “makes you smile.”
Pangea Day was created by documentary filmmaker Jehane Noujaim after winning the 2006 TED Prize. Noujaim, TED and Nokia then created Pangea Day to “connect people by harnessing the power of film and encouraging people to view the world through someone else’s eyes.”
Contestants can upload entries to Share on Ovi (ovi.com/pangeaday). Consumers who register can vote to select five finalists, who will have their videos screened during the Pangea Day broadcast and win a trip to the live Pangea Day broadcast location in Los Angeles.
Videos will be considered for inclusion in the first Pangea Day broadcast event on May 10. Submissions are being taken at www.ovi.com/pangeaday. The contest runs until April 15.
