With Degrafa at over 200 downloads in the first 24 hours we thought we’d propose a challenge for those of you beginning to get familiar with the framework. We’re opening up a contest for the coolest thing created in Degrafa.

The deadline is February 23rd. The prizes are listed below. Also, since there will be a session about Degrafa at 360|Flex Atlanta, the winning submission will be included as a part of the presentation (credits included of course).

ﾠWe understand the Degrafa framework is still in flux, so we’re giving a fair amount of time to compensate for the additions and refinements that are currently underway. The source will be up soon as well for those of you who’d like to get your hands dirty in the code.

ﾠSo what are we looking for? Well, anything. If you need some ideas, you might want to consider looking at the discussion board. Other than that, there’s plenty of things we’ve talked about doing, but we’re busy putting the finishing touches on the framework.

ﾠHere’s some other ideas:

• Add to the library of static or dynamic shapesﾠ
• Add or suggest a feature
• A Degrafa Explorer
• Creating a set of skins
• A series of gauges
• Data visualization
• Artistic Exploration
• Contributing to the project
• Tying into Kuler

ﾠ
Although some of these ideas may be a bit more involved for a Flex license, we don’t want to hold anyone back :-). Go nuts! Oh, and if you’re the only one who submits, guess what? You win! Oh, and we’re working on getting some more prizes, so stay tuned!

Special thanks to Adobe, 360|Conferences, Ryan Stewart and Doug McCune for providing the prizes.

Prizes

The winning entry will receive:

• Flex Builder 3 License
• Choice of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium OR Web Premium
• A hand-bedazzled 360|Flex Shirt
• Ticket to 360|Flex Atlanta (or reimbursement)

“Terms”

Deadline: February 22nd

We would prefer that whatever is entered into the contest becomes open for others to learn from and see the power of Degrafa. If that is not possible, then the judges must have proof that the entry did indeed use Degrafa.

Entry Submission: Send a link or code of your entry to derby [at] degrafa [dot] com.

Questions: Any questions concerning the Degrafa Derby can be sent to derby [at] degrafa [dot] com.ﾠ
