Write a Silverlight Game and win $5000 cash!

Many of you have probably already seen this contest but if you haven't, it's the biggest prize I've ever seen for a Silverlight game contest. Microsoft is sponsoring the Server Quest game contest and you can find more details here:

http://www.serverquestcontest.com/index.aspx

Now I have checked with the people running the contest, and they tell me that you can still host your game wherever you want even if you submit it to the contest, so even if your game doesn't win, we'd love to consider it for Silver Arcade, our new site for hosting free web gameswritten exclusively in Silverlight, or win and also submit it to us for the best of both worlds.

I'd love to submit a game, and I have a good idea for a fairly original game, but I don't know if I'll have the time to actually write it. Good luck to you, you have 50 days left until the deadline.

I just registered a complaint with this competition as follows:

ServerQuest Contest:

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
•You are a legal resident of the 50 United States (includes D of C).

Huh? Are you serious? What about the thousands of sliverlight and potential silverlight game developers on the rest of the planet?

So will you be running another competition for us 2nd class developers?
