Silverlight Control Builder Contest ‘08

Pete Brown - 29 June 2008

The Silverlight Control Builder Contest ‘08 has started! Build a compelling Silverlight 2 control and win some cool stuff! This is a great contest to see what you developers in the community can kick out in Silverlight 2.

Even if you can’t enter the contest, head on over to the contest FAQ and download a badge you can use to help promote the contest and Silverlight 2 control development.

I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of excellent entries. Time is limited, so step away from the lawnmower, get those creative juices flowing and submit something we’ll all want to use.

      Hi Michael

      Please contact Page with any questions on rules. I know that the restrictions on the contest were not easy to set due to the legalities involved. They could either spend the next several months having lawyers write up rules, or put in some restrictions and actually have a contest running.

      That said, definitely check with Page if you have any questions at all.

      Pete
