Adobe have launched a fantastic Flex Development Competition, the Flex Developer Derby. There’s many great prizes to be won, and it’s a great way to showcase your skills and ideas. With a number of categories to choose from, including my favourite Just Freakinâ€™ Cool (aka Wild Card), there’s an opportunity to develop just about anything using a combination of the Flex 2.0 products.

So what are you waiting for! Go and get flex’ing!
