The Official Community Coding Contest website is now Live!
This is the Community Coding Contest, that I originally announced on my blog, as a method to give away 3 MSDN Premium subscriptions that I recieved from Microsoft (because I'm an MVP) to give away as I see fit. This coding contest is the best way I could think of to give them away. I'm hoping to see many people enter, and no project is to big or small. Let the fun begin!
Also, the best part about this contest is, it's being judged by the community (that means YOU)!
In short, you can submit any open source program/application you write using Microsoft products to enter the contest. See the full contest rules for the description of what requirements each contest entry must meet.
This contest is in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Microsoft. It is an independent, free contest being coordinated by Chris Pietschmann.
Prizes
Currently the prizes I have to give away are:
1st Place - 1 MSDN Premium Subscription with Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite
2nd Place - 1 MSDN Premium Subscription with Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite
3rd Place - 1 MSDN Premium Subscription with Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite
4th Place - Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 Professional
The full contest rules are now posted, and will begin accepting contest submissions on July 1.
