Sports Tracker + Ovi competition launches NOW!

Last week our friends over at Sports Tracker announced that they will open up their brand new web service on August 12th which is today! At the same go, we told you that we got a sneak peek at the new service (HA!) and that we will start a sporty competition here at the Ovi Blog when the service goes live. So now, the moment is here. Now we will tell you what exactly can get you one or more of these über-cool items.

We will have one main winner, and this lucky guy or gal will get this awesome, very exclusive Ovi skateboard deck. As you know, we only give them out very rarely…

In addition to the deck, he or she will also get a new WearLink+transmitter with Bluetooth heart rate belt from Polar, which is ONLY available at the Sports Tracker store. Another 4 of these belts will be given to the top 2.-5. competitors.

And! Since we love you, each of the 5 winners’ prize packages will be lined with Ovi t-shirts, Ovi water bottles and other sporty Ovi swag that you can only get from us here at Ovi. How much do we love you, huh?

Oh yeah, the competition rules. What we’re asking you to do is simply this: make a funny or interesting shape with your Sports Tracker workout, share it publicly in the service and send a link of the shared workout to us. It’s that easy (or is it? ) The shape can be anything; a heart, a square, a text, Homer Simpson’s grandfather, anything! Go nuts & be creative (like the guy who did the below shape during his day of skating on a lake. Or like the Sports Tracker guys themselves!) And here’s the kicker: as soon as the deadline for the competition closes, we’ll gather all the submissions, pick out the 10 best ones with the Sports Tracker team and then open a poll here at the Ovi Blog where YOU can vote for the best workout shape out of that top 10 list! The 5 entries that come on top from the poll will be our winners. Simple pimple!

Starting from today, you have exactly 7 days, until Thursday August 19th 2pm GMT, to get acquainted with the new ST service, get yo exercise on (walk, jog, run, skate, hop on one leg etc.) and send us the link to your wackiest workout shape. Remember, you can also download the Sports Tracker app directly from Store. You can send your entry in ONE of the following ways:

1) Via email to me: niini@ovi.com

2) Via Twitter as a reply to @ovibynokia (please use hash tag #SportsTracker)

3) In the comments section below (when you submit your comment, make sure your email address is valid)

Now, any questions? We’re really looking forward to seeing what you come up with! And no, you will not get extra points if you spell “Niini” in your workout
