Zeemote, which designs and manufactures wireless controller technology and products for mobile devices, has announced the Zeemote Ready Developers Contest 2009. The contest is open now, and runs until 15 July 2009. Publishers and developers are encouraged to submit Zeemote Ready mobile game titles to win cash prizes totalling $10,000 (6,800), as well as the opportunity to have their games delivered to customers around the world via leading handset manufacturer and operator partners that are offering the Zeemote JS1. 
To enter the contest, developers-publishers can use the Zeemote Ready SDK to create a new game or modify an existing game title to feature either full Analogue Joystick Game Control or Simultaneous Multiplayer Gaming. Both are unique features offered by the Zeemote JS1 Controller.
The Contest is designed to further support and reward the growing Zeemote developer community, which has been instrumental in helping establish the Zeemote JS1 Controller. It is being launched after a successful year for Zeemote, that saw the company establish partnerships with handset manufacturers Nokia, Sony Ericsson and RIM, game publishers including EA, Gameloft, Glu, and network operators, T-Mobile, Orange, Telcel, Vodafone, and Telefonica Movil.  Building on the Zeemote JS1s availability in Europe and Latin America, Zeemote is continuing its momentum in 2009 with product rollouts globally planned in markets such as the UK, South America, Asia, the United States, Asia and additional geographies in Europe. 
2008 was an extremely successful year for Zeemote and we have lots of people to thank for such fantastic growth, especially our developer partners who created many innovative Zeemote Ready game titles says Zeemote CEO, Ernie Cormier. Our goal in 2009 is to continue to advance the revolution in mobile gaming by delivering even more Zeemote Ready titles to gamers. This contest empowers our developers to take Zeemote Ready Games to the next level by taking full advantage of the Zeemote JS1s unique capabilities.
A panel of industry veterans and members of the media will judge the contest, and the winners will be announced on 17 August 2009.  The winner will receive a cash prize of $7,500 and a shot at game distribution. Second prize will be a $2,500 cash prize and a shot at game distribution, while other finalists will have their games introduced to partners for a shot at game distribution
