September 17 marked the official start of JetBrains second annual Plugin Contest. Last year's contest was an unqualified success that was too good not to repeat, and that is why we’ve decided to make it a yearly event.

This time we at JetBrains, with several contest sponsors, are giving away over $57,000 (US) in cash and software prizes to the developers of the IntelliJ IDEA plugins that are judged the best.

Prizes
We will reward seven of the best contributions with cash and free software licenses:

  • Grand Prize: $7,000 (US) + Grand software license pack
  • Second Prize: $4,000 (US) + Deluxe software license pack
  • Third Prize: $2,000 (US) + Super software license pack
  • Team Leader's Personal Prize: $1,000 (US) + Special free software license pack
  • Honorable Mention (3 awarded): $350 Amazon.com gift certificate + free software license pack

Java development tools are kindly furnished by third-party companies sponsors which include Atlassian, Excelsior, Sixth and Red River, ej-technologies, FormDev Software, ProductiveMe and MB Technologies.

In addition, all valid submissions with non-trivial functionality will receive a commemorative contest T-shirt.

Key Dates
The contest kicked off September 17, 2007. Final code and collaterals must be submitted by December 21, 2007. Winners will be contacted by e-mail, and the winners list will be posted on the contest home page and announced in JetBrains blogs and RSS feeds on January 31, 2008.

Where do I go
