Dear Silverlighter,
You are probably one of the many impressed about the Silverlight technology and who spend many hours to dig into the endless world of possibilities that this technology provides. And your efforts will be awarded!
We, at SilverlightShow, start an ongoing contest: "Silverlight: Write and Win!". This contest aims to provoke people like you - geeks and fans, developers and designers, to show us what you've learned, what you've made, what you know. And all this to be shared with the community. Thus, we all make the Silverlight community stronger and active.
We are thankful to the Michael Sync, who organized the first edition of the contest and allowed us to make it a tradition. We also would like to say "thank you" to Dave Campbell, Michael Sync and Page Brooks who openly stand behind the idea and supports us - Thank You guys ;-)
