Wait for the Judging
Our judges will pick out the best entries based on interestingness, originality, and innovative use of the DayPI.

• Enter your work as a page in the cookbook. Describe what you've done and tag it with 'contest08' when you are ready to make your entry live.

  If your application is a mashup of Yahoo's BOSS API and the DayPI, make sure you also tag your entry with 'boss' to be eligible for the $2000 Yahoo! BOSS Bonus prize.

• Ask questions and share your knowledge about the DayPI with other developers on the forums. If you have questions about the contest, ask them on the DayPI Developer Challenge Forum .
