DevX has recently announced a "Create a Game in Microsfoft Silverlight 2" competition.
Prizes are:
1st: Xbox 360
2nd: 80Gig Zune
3rd: Halo3 + Mass Effect
Deadline is May 5th.
While I will not have time to submit an entry myself (too busy working on Diver), I think this is great news. Anything that adds awareness to Silverlight as a gaming platform is very welcome. As a bonus, this contest appears to be sponsored by Microsoft.
It'll be interesting so see what kind of turn-out this competition gets.
