It's the last long weekend of a fantastic Summer so the team's off doing end-of-Summer stuff that, as a transplanted Australian, I'm still coming to grips with. Washing hockey gear? Stock piling salt? Tapping maple trees? There are secrets and mysteries to this Land I'm yet to penetrate.

But the important stuff:

There are just three days left to receive one of 125 Tablets or All-In-One PCs and a share of $100K in cash prizes.

You have until Wednesday, September 4 at 11:59 p.m. GMT to submit your entry to the Intel App Innovation Contest 2013. On September 10th we'll announce the 125 finalists that will move on to Round 2 and receive either a Lenovo Horizon 27" All-In-One or ThinkPad Tablet 2 to help turn their app idea into a working demo or market-ready app to be judged and tested by Intel and industry judges. These 125 CodeProject finalists will go head-to-head with each other and 375 finalists from three other participating developer communities in India, China and Russia to battle it out for one of eight $10,000 category prizes and the $20,000 grand prize.

There's not much time left, submit your idea now for your chance to represent CodeProject in Round 2 and claim international recognition for your app. Make us proud!

cheers,
Chris Maunder
