Are You an XML Superstar?

You might be and not even know it yet.

This competition consists of five different contests aimed at students and professionals alike. Each contest offers its own recognition and set of prizes. The range of skills encompasses those with a passing interest in XML and database technology to those with hardcore programming skills in DB2. Before participating, you will first need to take a Quick Quiz, a short questionnaire that requires no prior XML or database experience to complete. You only have to take the Quick Quiz once.

Earn participation points for each entry. A special prize will be given to the contestant—the "XML Grand Master"—that amasses the most participation points.

If you're seeking XML Grand Master status (and who wouldn't?), then you should probably get started right away with the Video Contest, Gadget Contest, and Query Contest.

Achieve XML Grand Master status and you may become the next XML Superstar. Get started now. WWW.XMLCHALLENGE.COM or select from the individual contests below.
