Topic: Flash Lite Developer Challenge - $30,000 grand prize!

Apparently, there's a contest going on for Flash Lite developers with $100,000 worth of prizes on the line.  The deadline for entries is May 31st.

See The Flash Lite Developer Challenge for more information.

Thanks for the heads up Duane.

It seems odd that there is no guidance / rules on the resolution of the content, or on the Flash Lite version... Plus, how are they going to judge usability / user interface unless they test it on a device rather than a computer ? I don't think the competition organisers have thought this all through properly.

Was thinking the same thing...

I don't much about this other than what I read on the site, but I see no reason why a chumby widget would not qualify - we run Flash Lite and the widgets have been published to be compatible with it.  I don't see any requirement that the submission  run on a mobile handset.

Looking at this page it seems to be saying that you don't actually submit the application itself, but rather screenshots and a PowerPoint or video showing your application in action.

cbreeze - I really think you should submit Chumbyland for consideration, if for no other reason than to see what happens.

Agreed - get it in there !

Re: Flash Lite Developer Challenge - $30,000 grand prize!

Wow - thank you both.  And a recommendation from the man (Duane) himself. smile

Let's see if I have the guts to do it. yikes

Cheers.
