Nokia’s instantly recognizable default ringtone has hardly changed since its 1994 release. Now, the mobile giant is ready to make over the simple tune. This time, Nokia wants you to be the composer.
“The tune should be fresh, expressive, original, creative yet distinctively a Nokia Tune,” Nokia says.
Think you can pull it off? In addition to creating the next Nokia anthem, the grand prize winner will receive $10,000. Nokia will also give consolation prizes of $1,000 to five runners-up.
Entries must be submitted by Oct. 2. The five entries with the most public votes, as well as an additional five entries selected by a panel of judges will enter the finals. The judges will choose the grand prize winner.
The new Nokia tune will come in a selection of Nokia devices released in 2012. Nokia expects the selected tune to be available on about 100 million devices.
To participate, head on over to nokiatune.audiodraft.com and create your Nokia-inspired masterpiece or vote for other entries.
