Through Share on Ovi consumers can upload, vote and share content for
the Pangea Day broadcast on May 10, 2008

Espoo, Finland - 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 is inviting everyone to enter the 2008 Nokia
Mobile Filmmaking Awards by creating and submitting their short
videos to 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 Ojanperä, 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.
