Hi all,


The '1st European Silverlight Challenge' has ended and all of the participants did a pretty good job. However there can only be one winner who will become Europe's Best Silverlight Developer 2008. The Winner and the first and second runner-ups will be awarded with a trip to Mix 08 as well as additional prizes from our sponsors.

20 Countries from all across Europe have been involved in this 1st Challenge developing the best Rich Internet Application with Microsoft Silverlight. With unlimited creativity, the entries demonstrated the true potential of this amazing technology.

The entries varied from games to multimedia tools and even real business applications, each one a unique piece.
The announcement of the challenge was received with excitement among European bloggers and the news spread very fast among the user groups via the effort of our wonderful .NET User Group Leaders, whom mobilized their members to participate in the event.
