Windows Phone 7 Series "Rockstar" Award
To win the Windows Phone 7 Series “Rockstar” Award, your team is challenged to create a Windows Phone 7 Series application (app) in either Silverlight or XNA. This app needs to be designed with the consumer in mind and should be as visually compelling as possible. Be prepared to demonstrate your team’s app entry running on an actual Windows Phone 7 Series device or in an emulator. Mobile applications are “all the” buzz today. Windows Phone 7 Series is a revolutionary new platform and you have the opportunity to be a part of it. This is your chance to think of something that is truly outside the box and be one of the first developers, ever, to be building apps for Windows Phone 7 Series. Create an app that people will love having on their Windows Phone.
Your team will submit an 'XAP' application package when you’ve completed your application in Silverlight or XNA. The applications will be judged based on originality, the consumer appeal and the unique mobile oriented features integrated in to your app.
DreamSpark has partnered with Windows Marketplace for Mobile so you can sell your mobile applications! Go to DreamSpark to learn more!
Why sign-up for this Award?
More chances to win cash and prizes (including a Windows Phone for each winning team member) and possibly a trip to Poland for the Worldwide Finals!

An app that could help you in school, like a study guide or a note-taking app or a test prep app
An app that might help you monitor power consumption at your residence
An app that consumes data from popular API providers, like Twitter or Foursquare, and helps you visualize it in a compelling way
Existing Silverlight web apps that you would want to see running on a Windows Phone

Hey all, In addition to the XDA WP7 dev contest currently running, Microsoft is sponsoring an additional competition that closes on June 6th called the WP7 app challenge.
10 finalist will be chosen and given two free passes to Microsoft's Partner Conference in Los Angeles in July (it normally cost ~2k each to attend) where they will compete on stage in front of a live audience for the title.
My microsoft sources are telling me that they will also get a sitdown at the show with the WP7 dev team and VP + that each entry will get a free set of cool WP7 dev tools from one of their vendors.

T-Mobile’s newest promotional contest is for all your Twitter fiends out there as T-Mobile wants you to enter the “4G Tweet Race,” and a chance to win a HTC One S. So how do you win?
How to play
Registration is simple. Just connect your Twitter account and follow @TMobile. When the race is on, you’re free to tweet! The racer who receives the most unique retweets during the race wins.
The stakes
One winner each day will receive a brand new HTC One™ S with a free year of service. At the end of the week, all seven winners will compete against one another for the grand prize – a cool $4000.
What counts?
Racers are free to personalize their tweet for their followers. However, all tweets must include @TMobile, #4GTweets, and http: //t-mo.co/4G Tweets. Only your first tweet will qualify for the race, so please don’t spam your followers.
