Where would I go? Continue reading »
In the last community update I included one upcoming hackathon and omitted some promotions. Time to rectify the latter and expand on the former!
Unity has a new contest going for Windows platforms. Big prizes involved! From their website:
Unity and Microsoft are inviting Unity developers to enter a new contest by submitting beautifully crafted, high-quality new or existing games or content for the upcoming Windows Store Apps and Windows Phone 8 platforms. Over $100,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to a number of talented and lucky winners.
Deadline is September 30, 2013. Get your game on now!
In a
ddition, Microsoft has created a program slightly similar in goals to Nokia’s DVLUP, called App Builder Rewards. Might as well double-dip!
Finally, I missed that Microsoft Tech Affiliate had restarted the great APPortunity sweepstakes. Submit your apps for August ASAP.
Nothing to report yet– let me know if you discover any! In addition to online events, those in any region I cover will be promoted here.
