Nokia Launches 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards to Support Pangea Day

Through Share on Ovi Consumers can Upload, Vote and Share Content for the Pangea Day Broadcast on May 10, 2008

ESPOO, Finland, March 19/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a world where people are often divided by borders, differences and
conflicts, it's easy to lose sight of what we have in common. Pangea Day is
an event that seeks to overcome these barriers by helping people see
themselves in others through the power of film. Nokia (NYSE:NOK) is inviting
everyone to enter the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards by creating and
submitting their short videos to http://www.ovi.com/pangeaday to be
considered for inclusion in the first Pangea Day broadcast event on
May 10, 2008.

Pangea Day was created by award-winning documentary filmmaker Jehane
Noujaim after winning the prestigious 2006 TED Prize. Together, Noujaim, TED
and Nokia have 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 for the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking
Awards to Share on Ovi (ovi.com/pangeaday), a free media sharing service that
makes it easy to upload, manage and share personal media through mobile,
desktop and other connected devices. 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.

"This competition is a great way for anyone in the world to get involved
in the global Pangea Day event and increases awareness for how converged
mobile devices and services are helping to connect people of diverse
backgrounds," says Tero Ojanpera, Executive Vice President and head of the
Nokia Entertainment and Communities business. "With the growing interest in
sharing images and videos through mobile devices and services like Share on
Ovi, we hope to encourage more consumers to get creative."

All five finalists, chosen by online voting, will be flown to Los Angeles
for the event. A panel of professional judges - including Jehane Noujaim,
Dave Stewart and others - will review the videos prior the broadcast and pick
a winner, which will then be announced during the Pangea Day broadcast. In
addition to the trip to the Los Angeles event, the winner will receive a
mobile filmmaking trip of a lifetime and a production budget to record their
trip.

The contest will run from March 17 to April 15. To be eligible for the
2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards, the short videos must be two minutes or
less in length and about one of the following themes:

- An act of kindness

- Someone inspiring

- The best part of the day

- Something that makes you smile

On May 10, Pangea Day event sites on almost every continent will be
linked live to deliver a four-hour broadcast worldwide of short films, VIP
guest speakers and special musical guests organized by Nokia and TED. Through
the Friends of Pangea Day page at http://www.pangeaday.org/events.php,
anyone, anywhere can sign up and host their own Pangea Day event or attend an
event in their local community.
