After 24 hours of solid developing the Hackathon is officially over. Every single team managed to complete their widget on time for the 13.00 deadline so congratulations to all!

The ideas went before a preliminary judging panel made up of the following Nokia executives:
Eric John – Director of Product Marketing for Nokia Media
Catalin Gheorghiu – Head of third party development for Nokia
Srikanth Raju – Director of Marketing Forum Nokia
Jens Feilberg – Director of Device Experience for Nokia Live Category

The judging criteria was broken down into four key sections:
1. Quality of device functionality
2. Novelty value and level of innovation
3. Ease of use and design
4. Commercial viability and market potential.

After a long period of deliberation the ten original ideas were reduced to the following three by the jury:

Social Location Widget – created by David Castro and developed by Plusmo
Travel Planner – created by Bruce Hopkins from the U.S.A and developed here in Monte Carlo by Pavingsway
Shopping List Widget – created by Marco Lobb and developed by Digia

Congratulations to David, Bruce and Marco for creating the original ideas and to the developers who did a fantastic job in making the idea a reality.

Stay tuned to see who will go on to win the Hackathon title!
