Call-for-entries--Mobile Rules business plan competition

For those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, you know that last year I created a business plan competition (originally called Web2Mobile) for mobile innovations on behalf of my client FinNode. Well, on Monday we're announcing the call-for-entries to the second annual Mobile Rules Business Plan Competition (the name was changed... long story). Nokia is very involved and they've expanded the competition to include tracks for mobile phone applications as well as business plans that foster or leverage the growing mobile ecosystem. Prizes also have been expanded this year to allow for up to six winners.

Web2Mobile/Mobile Rules is open to all qualified entrepreneurs and developers anywhere in the world. There will be one Grand Prize winner and two Runner-Up winners in each track. Prizes will be a combination of cash, development assistance, high-level industry introductions and free products.

The competition was inaugurated in 2006 as the Web2Mobile Business Plan Competition, and attracted tens of thousands of entrepreneurs from around the world. The final winners came from Singapore, Finland, United Kingdom and the United States.

Competition Details & Entry Deadlines

Visit www.web2mobile.org and complete the appropriate online entry forms. Final submission deadlines are:

- Mobile Business Plans (novel ideas that create new value within the mobile ecosystem) – deadline: November 16th, 2007

Good luck. -Mark Addison
