The inaugural Splunk App Dev Contest is heading into the home stretch but there’s still plenty of time to enter and win. The Splunk App Dev Contest is a chance to show off your development chops and win up to $10,000! What kinds of things can you build and enter into the contest? You can build a Splunk App using JavaScript and Django with the new Framework (requires Splunk 5.0+) or with Advanced XML. You can integrate Splunk functionality and data into a web, mobile, desktop or server application using the Splunk REST API or Splunk SDKs for Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby and PHP. You can build something else amazing that we haven’t thought of and blow away the judges. Spend some time on http://dev.splunk.com/, get your brain storming and get started! Here are the details:

1st Prize $10,000
2nd Prize $5,000
3rd Prize $3,000
