This looks like a great competition, but one has to already have a copy of Adobe Flash to enter, and the prize is… another copy of Adobe Flash. That’s a little bit of a Catch-22 situation, isn’t it?

At first glance but this is for the whole production suite which include a lot more than just Flash. Also, it’s for CS4 (which has just been announced) vs. CS3 or older which is what most people are using.

How will the most commented video prize work? Couldnt you get loads of friends to comment on your video, thus increasing your chance to win?

This looks like a great competition.
I have been learning a lot of flash in the past few months. I should maybe join :D. Thanks for sharing.

Just stumbled upon this blog from a google search, I’m a student Flash designer. Seems I’m too late, but if you ever do something like this again, I’ll be sure to enter!
