The timeframe and deadline aren't set yet, as soon as we have the structure of the competition finalised and the site ready, we'll start immediately. Watch this space.


"I'll take it, till I get killed or you find someone better."

The only problem is now I can't enter and have a chance to win a N9/50 like everyone else! Grrr!
OK, but that might not go down well with a lot of developers who like to concentrate on their existing projects. It might mean a lower turn out of applications for the competition, and less incentive for existing projects to be completed. I'm kinda torn on it to be honest.

I would agree with this. Ports can be a right royal pain, nobody really likes to do them. It can mean the developer needs a lot of knowlege on both systems and has to trawl through someone else's code - and us developers know how "teeth pullingly" dreadful it can be to decipher anyone elses code We've had ports in the past that are really appreciated, and indeed prize winners, so I'd be inclined to include them. In case there's any confusion, what we ask the users to judge is the work included in porting. Not the actual application itself that is ported. This can be tricky because some voters may have a problem in differentiating the application they see running from the work it took to get it to run, but we try to point this out as best as we can.

mmlado has you covered

100% spot on mmlado, that's the idea

In regards to hash tag
I really like this one, is it ok with everyone?

By the way, I should take this moment to thank qwazix again for the competition banner. I see it's now been placed on the top right of the page, Im not sure who asked for that but thanks to them too! And thanks for Reggie for sticking it up there. It looks really well I think

Just for fun, let's have a look back at the previous banners

This was the first banner that related back to when the original competition was just a weekend thing I dreamed up.. and no expense was spared "to create the following soul stirring poster."



With the support of the community and Nokia onboard the competition quickly turned from a weekend 'lark' into a more professional competition. The almighty MS Paint was unleashed to come up with this cow-less banner..



With the 2011 competition, thankfully I wasn't in charge of making the banner I believe it was noobmonkey that came up with this funky design (correct me if I'm wrong):



Now qwazix has joined the halls of competition banner fame



Now we have a professional neat competition banner, we'll have to get working on tidying up the wiki that it points to. Busy weekend ahead
