So by now you’ve (hopefully) been checking out Adobe AIR and you’ve built a couple of sample applications. We want you to take it to the next level so we’re holding the Adobe AIR Developer Derby. The goal is to build the most unique Adobe AIR application and the grand prize is a travel gift certificate worth $100,000 that you can use wherever you want.

There are five categories which also have a single winner who walks away with one of the coolest developer setups ever:

• A Mac Pro 8Core with 4 gigs ram, 1.5 TB (2×750GB) of storage.
• (2) Dell 2707WFP 27″ widescreen monitors.
• (1) one Sony Playstation 3.
• (1) $200 gift certificate to Amazon.com.
• (1) Herman Miller Aeron chair.
• (1) Bose Quiet Comfort 3 noise canceling headphones.
• (1) copy of Adobe Flex™ Builder™ version 3, Macintosh edition.
• (1) copy of Adobe Creative Suite® 3 Master Collection for Macintosh.
• And one squishy stress ball.

We’ve got categories for best Business Application (with both a HTML and Flash winner), best Community Application (with a winner for both HTML and Flash) and finally one Wild Card winner which doesn’t fit into one of the two groups above but is still done in AIR and worthy of a prize. Check out the contest page and official rules for more info. The deadline is September 5th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time so start coding!
