The Nokia Calling All Innovators Africa challenge has come to an end and a HUGE fringing shoutout to the winners.

Nokia received over 125 submissions from Africa for the developer challenge and after much deliberation the top 10 winners have been announced this evening at the Mobile Monday event in Johannesburg.

As reported earlier, your local fring blogger submitted an application into the challenge and I am happy to say I took 4th place for the worlds first free mobi guide to snakes of South Africa.
