The latest challenge of Nokia’s online contest is for participants to send their original photos or artwork that centers on the rainy or wet season theme.

Create themes with elements of rain, water and fun; capture the romantic mood of the season; or chill out with relaxing shades of the weather.

Chosen theme entries will be converted to theme files and will be made available in the Nokia Ovi Store for download using Nokia mobile phones with Symbian, S40 and S60 operating systems until Dec. 31. Only downloads from July 16 to Aug. 31 will be valid for the final tally.
