A little about job requirements

• Source files and images embedded in a web application cannot exceed 10Kb in total (in uncompiled form); only xaml, cs, vb (or any other language) files and embedded resources are considered.
• The web application must be a Silverlight application or a WPF application running as a XAML Browser Application (XAB).
• The web application cannot include source codes, libraries, or third-party builds. The use of data from third-party web services is allowed, provided that their use by your application is allowed under the license agreements of these services.
• When judging the participants' works, originality, design / UX and functionality of the web application will be taken into account.
