Last year, Nothing held a contest where fans could create a unique version of the Nothing Phone (2a). The contest welcomed entries across various categories such as hardware, wallpaper, packaging, and marketing. The outcome was the Nothing Phone (2a) Community Edition, which was released in limited numbers. Now, Nothing is launching a new round for the recently unveiled Nothing Phone (3a).
New Categories and Entries
Similar to last year, Nothing is inviting submissions for hardware (which now includes packaging), software (like wallpapers, lockscreen clocks, unlock animations, and widgets), and marketing concepts for a special edition of the Phone (3a). This time, they have also added accessories and merchandise to the mix. The selected winning entries will be determined through votes from community members as well as a panel of judges.
Prizes and Collaboration
There will be four winners in total—one from each category—who will work together with the Nothing team to turn their ideas into reality. This year, Nothing has also announced that there will be cash prizes for the winners. Additionally, winners will be invited to London to participate in the phone’s development and launch.
The Nothing Phone (3a) Community Edition, which will result from this collaboration, is set to launch at the end of the year. Like the Phone (2a) Community Edition, it will likely be available for purchase in limited quantities.
A Successful Return
It’s not surprising that Nothing is reintroducing the Community Edition phone since the first version was quite successful. The Phone (2a) Community Edition, featuring a glow-in-the-dark design, sold out within just 15 minutes and even earned a Gold iF Design Award.
Currently, submissions for the competition are open and will remain so until April 23rd at 11 AM GMT. The winners are expected to be announced at the end of April. Please remember that this contest is exclusively for the Phone (3a) and not for the Phone (3a) Pro, which is available on Amazon for $499.
