OK, fellow Flexers. Time to start being nice to me 
This summer I will be a judge in the new Flex 3 Cookbook Cook-Off.
Here are the details:
This summer, O’Reilly Media announces the creation of the Flex 3 Cookbook Cook-Off to celebrate the recent publication of Flex 3 Cookbook: Code-Recipes, Tips, and Tricks for RIA Developers ,
written by Josh Noble, Todd Anderson, and a selection of authors whose recipes were plucked from the Adobe Flex Cookbook website . During this contest, we invite you to submit your best code recipes for the chance to win some great prizes.
So how do I participate?
Entries accepted at the Adobe Flex Cookbook site between June 2 & August 1, 2008
(Note: Make sure to select the O’Reilly opt-in option at the bottom of your recipe submission.)
So what are the prizes?
Grand prize: A ticket to Adobe MAX* from November 16-19 in San Francisco, California and $500 (US) in O’Reilly Media books
Community choice award: $350 (US) in O’Reilly Media books (this is the top-rated recipe during contest time period)
Second prize: Every Adobe Developer Library (ADL) book published by O’Reilly Media
Third prize: Five O’Reilly Media books of choice
So how do I win?
After August 1, the judges will determine the winners using the following criteria:
User Experience (30%): Does the recipe work well and produce a great-looking RIA? Does it make best use of the available controls?
Implementation (30%): Is the code well designed and understandable? Is it elegant?
Creativity (20%): Was the solution to the problem particularly creative without being obscure?
Relevance (15%): Does this example solve a problem that real engineers have in the real world?
“Flexiness” (5%): Was the solution implemented using Flex best practices?
Winners will be announced the first week of September, 2008.
