It's been a little quiet here on my blog for the past few weeks, but tonight you will know why!  I am excited to announce the Silverlight Control Builder Contest!  Ripping the content straight off the front page (I can do that, I wrote it!):

"Welcome to the Silverlight Control Builder Contest! With this contest, we hope to incite the development of many open and free Silverlight Controls that all developers can use in their applications, and what better way to do this than through a friendly contest! This contest is your chance to demonstrate your control building skills to the Silverlight community and win some pretty cool prizes at the same time!"

So go for it!  We have a lot of cool prizes to give away including a 1-year MSDN Premium Subscription (thanks to Dave Campbell!).  Good luck!

Also, if you want to help promote the contest, head over to the Frequently Asked Questions page and download a badge for your site.
