Just got news from the guys at Xuinet that they’re running a big competition with a cash prizes totaling $10,000. You need to submit SWFs via email by November 3rd 2008 and multiple entries are allowed. Looks like a good opportunity to re-purpose your Flash Lite 2 content.

Prize categories include:

• Blogs and Social Networks
• Games
• Images/slide-shows
• Sports (scores, trivia, fantasy league)
• On-the-go (travel, weather, news, etc.)

I must admit I haven’t seen Xuinet before. It appears to be a distribution platform for Flash mobile applications. By the looks of it the files are converted into a “Xui” which runs Flash 7 SWFs in a custom player on Windows Mobile devices. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who’s tried out the SDK to confirm the implementation details.

Best of luck to anyone entering the competition.
