Now that it's 2010, and over a year since the first Community Coding Contest came to an end, I'm thinking about running the contest again in 2010.

Last time it ran for 3 months and we had 6 really great entries. This time around I'm thinking that it may be better to accept entries for 6 months, and have the voting run for a full month. This will give much more time for entries to be submitted, and for people to work on their entries before submitting and/or voting begins.

These are just some initial thoughts, and I'm going to need input on everything from YOU (the community) before I can make a final decision as to when and how to run the contest again. I'd really appreciate if you could fill out the following survey and tell us what you think.

Also, we will need some prizes donated before the contest will be able to go on. If you or your company are interested in donating prizes or monetary support (web hosting fees, mailing expenses, etc.) for the contest, please leave a comment on the post below, or contact us directly here: http://communitycodingcontest.org/contact.aspx

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks!

And the Winners are...

We are finally at the conclusion of an awesome contest, and the winners are....

1st Place - 100 votes - CCNetConfig

2nd Place - 98 votes - Scrumr

Congratulations you guys; the voting for these two projects was neck and neck for awhile and it was unclear which was going to be 1st or 2nd. In the last minutes of voting, CCNetConfig squeezed past Scrumr with only 2 more votes placing it in 1st place.

Here's the full voting results:

Thanks for Participating!!

I must extend a very big "Thank You" to all of you who participated in this contest; both those who submitted entries and those who voted. Without any of you this awesome contest could have never taken place.

Even though there are only prizes for the 1st and 2nd place winners, the runners up are still really good projects. I really encourage everyone to go check them out.

Thanks again! And, Happy Coding!!
