Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know about a new contest we are running from March to June that might be of interest to some of you working on your Windows 8 apps.
We want to find and showcase cool and innovative apps and games on the Windows 8 platform. Have you created something recently we should know about and have attended one Studio Time that month? If so, enter your app / game into the Best App A Month Contest, where you could win a new Dell Venue Pro Tablet.
Who Can Enter: Legal residents of the US and DC 18 years and older who attends at least one monthly in-person Microsoft app development session in an eligible location.
How to Enter: Publish an app during one of the Monthly Prize Periods Mar-Jun 2014 and submit your entry via the city-specific web site form.

Additionally, Bill Reiss, the Southeast Nokia Ambassador, will be giving away a Windows 8 tablet and a couple of Windows Phones at the end of March. You enter the drawing by simply getting a Windows Phone app in the store!
