To celebrate our Fourth Birthday, we have decided to launch a unique contest for both our Designer and Developer community. We are offering the winners of each contest brief a fantastic Flash Goodie Bag worth over $1000 and the chance to get their work showcased on the MDM website.

That's right, we have 2 different contest briefs for 2 very different audiences! If you're the creative type who likes nothing better than to tween and tweak those inspirational designs, then you'll definitely want to check out our Designer Brief. However, if you're more of a code and conquer type and prefer to "Flex" your development muscles, check out our Developer Brief.

Launch Date: Monday 24 July 2006
Closing Date: Thursday 31 August 2006 ** This Contest has now Ended - Click Here to See the Winning Entries! **

Everything from Flash Content Management, to Video Encoding, to Desktop Development and to SWF Encryption is here! Our Two Contest winners (one from each category) will each receive a fantastic Flash Goodie Bag which includes over $1000 worth of Flash software including:

For all you Zinc Developers out there here’s your chance to "Flex" your muscles and showcase your talent! Your brief is to create a "widget" using Flash (or Flex) and Zinc that has an actual use and demonstrates how easily Flash/Flex/Zinc can be used to create a desktop application. "Widgets" are small, simple desktop applications which usually have a single purpose. For example, a desktop clock, a weather feed or even a daily horoscope! For an example of a Widget created with Zinc, visit: http://www.multidmedia.com/showcase/showcase.php?id=32
