Free Azure Pass + RockPaperAzure Spring Fling = $$

As I finish up my income tax return, I’m wishing I were eligible for this latest incarnation of the RockPaperAzure Challenge; I’m not, but if you’re in the US (and don’t work for Microsoft), you probably are!  If you’ve played before, you know the deal – and the fun -- and if not, our Get Started page on the contest site will get you in the game in no time.

In this latest Spring Fling version of the challenge, we’ll be awarding the top three “bots” Best Buy Gift Cards ($50, $25, and $10) every Friday -- starting this week and ending June 15.  If your bot has staying power, you can win week after week.

Then at the end of the Spring Fling (June 15th) we’ll award three sweepstakes prizes to randomly drawn entries in the Spring Fling round. That’s right, all you have to do is get in the game, and you could win:

• a Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone, 
• a 4GB XBox 360 with Kinect, or
• a Kinect Sensor for XBox 360.
