New Plugin Competition for WordPress 2.5

Are you good with PHP?  Following in the tremendous success of previous plugin competitions, it looks like Weblog Tools Collections is hosting another WordPress plugin competition, this time for WordPress 2.5. 

Here are the competition details:

• Running time for competition = 2 months starting the 10th of May till the 10th of July.
• True Wordpress plugins only. No manual modifications can be required of users.
• You cannot submit plugins that have been released already. New code only please.
• Plugins can only be submitted via email. We will make that email address public later on in the competition.
• Plugins cannot have opt-out links back to the authors’ pages (from the main blog pages, admin pages are fine). If you have links or donation forms, please make them opt-in.
• All plugins require documentation as in the Wordpress Extend pages. Documentation will be one of the judging criteria.
• Preliminary support for the plugin has to be provided to the public.
• We are looking for innovation, documentation and elegant code that is GPL.
• Any and all prizes/controversies/issues will be judged and decided at our sole discretion.

I think these competitions are great ideas and really benefit the WordPress community, so I encourage anyone that has coding ability to participate.  I think if you look over the plugins created in the last few of these competitions, you’ll see a lot of great plugins that were created, including one of my favorites, WordPress Automatic Upgrade.
