Flash Lite Developer Challenge deadline is getting closer

Flash Lite Developer Challenge.jpgA shopping trip to New York City, a few new phones for testing purposes and a new home cinema setup. That’s probably how I would spend $30.000 ;-) I really wish I could enter an app in the Flash Lite Developer Challenge and maybe win up to $30.000 but sadly I’m not allowed to enter one as an Adobe employee ;-).

However, it’s not too late to enter your mobile Flash application. You have until May 31st to submit it on http://flashlitedeveloperchallenge.com.

And the winners are…

As you probably know by now, Flash On The Beach is in just 1 week time and is completely sold out. Luckily we were able to get a hold of the last tickets and asked you to be creative with the “beach” theme and the AIR, Flash, Flex, ColdFusion, Adobe logos. Here are the winners who all get a full conference pass to Flash On The Beach in Brighton. I’m sure you’ll agree that these clearly are winners. Congrats to all of them and see you in Brighton!

FOTB is sold out! Get the last tickets here… for free!

Flash On The Beach is now just 2 weeks away and is also officially sold out. If you were too late in getting your tickets, this is your last chance to get one… for free!

The only thing you have to do is get a little creative! A couple of weeks ago, Adobe’s European platform evangelist team launched this contest. Although the deadline was officially last week, we want to give you guys a little bit more time to get creative and win your ticket for FOTB especially since it’s now sold out and these are the last available tickets out there. So we’re extending the deadline until Wednesday September 17, 1pm CET. That same afternoon we’ll announce the winners.

I got to tell you that the competition is already pretty strong. So get creative and see you at Flash On The Beach!

Create a skin to win a ticket to MAX, a MacBook Air and a bundle of software

Earlier today, ScaleNine.com launched the “Skin To Win Challenge” sponsored by EffectiveUI and Adobe.

Juan Sanchez‘ website ScaleNine.com has an impressive collection of CSS skins for Flex applications. With this contest, he’s looking for new additions to this collection and the top three entries win some really cool prizes including a MacBook Air (with SSD!), tickets to MAX, CS3 Master Collection and Flex Builder.

The contest website has everything you need to get started, even if you’re completely new to Flex skinning! Andrew Shorten created a couple of tutorial videos to help you on your way to create your winning Flex skin!

I’m really looking forward to see the skins that come out of this contest. You have until October 10th to submit your entry so you better start now!

Flex contests : Win Master Collection, Flex Builder or a ticket to MAX

  • Flex SEO contest: Fellow evangelist Ryan Stewart is starting a community contest to find out more about Flash/Flex SEO. Everyone can enter to win Creative Suite Master Collection, Flex Builder and other prizes. [More info]
  • Help out the Flex team and win books and tickets to MAX: While the Flex team itself does work to fix bugs, they are also hard at work innovating on the next release, which means they can not fix as many bugs as they’d like. That’s why they are seeking your help [More info]

Both contests are open to anyone anywhere! And yes, that means us Europeans can also enter!
