Win a Nokia N900 from Mozilla

Tweet

Do you want a Nokia N900? Would you like to get a free one? Well that’s possible if you know your way around Mozilla Firefox. In fact you’re surely going to get one if you can develop add-ons for Firefox. That’s right, the company is offering not one, but 10 phones for you.

All you have to do is make sure that you take part in the Mobile Add-on Developer Challenge and submit your add-on idea by December 7, 2009. After that the judges from Mozilla will select 10 add-ons that “best represent user experience and innovation on Firefox for mobile devices” and then the chosen developers will get the Nokia N900 phones in question.

In case you’re not exactly a developer then you’re probably not going to be able to take part in this fun challenge. But you will definitely have to gain from Mozilla’s initiative as those add-ons will come in handy when browsing the Internet in the future, especially from your mobile phone.

The good news for developers is that the contest is available to almost any participant everywhere in the world. But there are some exceptions that do apply:

Contest is void in Cuba, Iran, Province of Quebec (Canada), North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Union of Myanmar, and where prohibited by law.

In order to be able to take part in this contest you will have to be at the age of majority in your country although exceptions do apply for United States and Brazil teenagers that happen to master the gift of coding add-ons. In order for them to participate they will need to submit a parental consent form.

Once you have developed your Firefox extension for mobile simply submit it to Mozilla. In case you have already developed one before this announcement then you’ll still be able to use it to enter the contest. Simply contact Mozilla and tell them that you want to have a go for the free N900 with the add-on already developed by you.

Finally, there’s no fee for this Contest so go ahead and develop a Firefox mobile add-on that will change the world as we know it. And then let us know if you won! After all we were the ones to tell you about this contest in the first place.
