2009 Silverlight Control Builder Contest Announced!

static-header

Right on the heels of the Silverlight 3 announcement, the 2009 Silverlight Control Builder Contest was just announced.  The concept is simple, build a control using Silverlight and submit it to the site.  The top 3 entries will win some really cool prizes!

Based on feedback gathered from last year, the contest is much improved:

  • The contest is world-wide this time!
  • Extended contest duration.  This year, the contest lasts until September 19th, 2009 at 12 AM EDT.
  • Silverlight 3 entries are accepted (of course!)
  • Contest entries will be published shortly after they are submitted.

So spread the word!  I can’t wait to see what the Silverlight community can do!

By the way, follow @SLContest on Twitter for updates.  I am hoping to add more prizes soon!

Gravatar Hello,

It's a very nice idea which will make the community to come with original ideas.
However, who's holding this contest?
Also, the prizes are nice but since it's about Microsoft product, it would be very nice to have a MSDN subscription as a prize.

Thanks.

Gravatar I am holding the contest myself. I would love to offer an MSDN subscription, but since the contest is world-wide this time, I am unable to do this. However, I am working to add more prizes which, in my opinion, are even better than the subscription. Stay tuned! 7/18/2009 9:43 AM | pbrooks
