Contest: Microsoft .NET Framework - Tell us Your Story

The EPiServer Gadget Contest 2009 has officially ended and we're glad to announce a new contest from Microsoft: Tell us Your Story - Microsoft .NET Framework.

The contest is about telling your story about how did you use the .NET Framework to create a killer app and what parts of the .NET Framework did you use to develop it? What challenge did you solve and how did you integrate your solution with other solutions and systems?

Simply share your interesting, powerful and unique solutions based on the latest Microsoft technologies, and you can win one of $16,000 in prizes, or be the absolute winner to choose of a 12-day Galapagos Islands Adventure, or a new Smart Car.

There are two ways to win:
1) Judges Choice: Impress the panel of technology industry leaders and Microsoft gurus for a chance to win a trip, a car, a home entertainment system, or a media internet tablet PC.
2) People's Choice: Get friends, family, and colleagues to vote for your solution. Receive the most votes and win one of three ARCHOS 320 GB Media Internet Tablet PCs.

Get started today! Visit www.mydotnetstory.com to enter your solution now and you’ll automatically be entered in the People’s Choice category. Then create a demo that showcases the power and uniqueness of your solution, and come back to add a link to your demo so you’re officially entered in the Judges’ Choice category!

The Entry Period of the contest ends at 5:00 p.m. PT on December 31, 2009. For more information about the contest please visit www.mydotnetstory.com and make sure to read the official rules.

I’m writing in the hopes that you can give me a contact who is involved in the judging of the My Dotnet story contest. I am interestd in submitting my solution, but I have an issue.

The rules require that we submit our judges’ entry using Demo Mate software. This presents a problem for me since my solution involves 3D and Demo Mate cannot capture 3D nor does it permit a movie to be imported into the demo. That leaves me with the only option of including screenshots which certainly don’t convey the video game experience that the application offers.

So, I would like to submit a video to the judges and need to see if that is acceptable.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Ed, The best alternative is to make a DemoMate demo. This way you'll be able to communicate the coolness of the application and describe the application, users, value of the application, etc. Hope this helps. All the best and good luck for the contest.
