Head over to the Neoflash pages for the full “NEO Spring Coding Contest” details and good luck!

Personal sidenote:
If hughe commercial companies keep on colliding with competitions organized by non commercial pages, this might be the last one from us – as I can not keep up on such a level. Personaly I found the announcement quite rude, as it fully collides with the current PDRoms Coding Competition ( //phpbb/viewforum.php?f=59 ) but nevertheless it’s no reason for me to not announce it. The prices are a lot more than PDRoms could ever offer as non commercial page, but we have less formal rules, as you don’t need to put a “PDRoms” splash screen anywhere if you don’t like to.
