The MOTODEV Game Developer Challenge is open to all registered MOTODEV developers, and is accepting submissions from now until Aug. 10, 2007. Motorola describes MOTODEV as its global developer and ISV program that offers developers simple access to resources such as tools, SDKs, and "go-to-market opportunities" for all of the company's platforms.
A panel of judges representing Motorola,
I-play, and other contest sponsors will evaluate entries based on "uniqueness, fun factor, design, operation and innovation in visual arts and audio," according to Motorola. One winner will be selected from each device category, with the winners announced in the fall of 2007.
Each category grand prize winner will have his or her winning mobile title published by I-play. The runners-up in each category will have an opportunity to meet with the judging panel to discuss their submissions and receive valuable feedback. In addition, all winners will receive a "briefcase full" of Motorola's handsets and a package of I-play's best-selling games, Motorola says.
I-play CEO David Gosen, stated, "Gaming development is an industry that's fueled by creativity and this competition rewards that vision. It's not only a great opportunity for developers to show off their talents, but also catch the attention of the entire mobile gaming world."
Official competition rules and details about submitting a mobile title for consideration are available on Motorola's website,

Speaking of Motorola's Q family, Motorola last week unveiled
two new Q smartphones that will run Microsoft's just-released
Windows Mobile 6 software platform. The Moto Q q9 and the Q gsm, with full QWERTY keyboards, are successors to the original
Moto Q, which entered the market last May.
