Facebook has become the most frequently visited web site in South Africa. And as you may already know, developers can build their own Facebook applications for the platform.
Mentez has launched a competition in South Africa in search of the best Facebook application. There are five Mentez-sponsored prizes, the winning prize being R40 000.
Microsoft has now joined in the competition with the intention of showing the value of using Silverlight to improve the end-user experience of Facebook applications even further. Microsoft is sponsoring an XBox 360 Games Console and games bundle for the best Facebook application using Silverlight, over and above the Mentez prizes.
So, what are you waiting for? Registrations close 22 December 2007.
Go register at www.mentez.com and tell everyone you know who may be interested in winning R40 000!
