This year is the first time you can submit a web based application. Bing Maps is powered by Navteq data and they are really looking forward to people creating something amazing with the new Silverlight control. Digital globe who supply the satellite images for Bing are a major sponsor also.
The only criteria is it must have a location aspect to the application, listen to the interview for all the details but yes Silverlight 3 / 4 sounds like an awesome platform to build on. However if you do use one of the 3 sponsored devices and make the first cut you will be sent a phone to use. Although Bing doesn't currently have a specific mobile control it does have all the services required for you to use in a custom mobile application. John.

Details are mainly focused around the mobile phone entries (where is Silverlight for mobile when we need it?) so I did an interview with Laura from NAVTEQ to get the details for us web developers. http://www.soulsolutions.com.au/Blog/tabid/73/EntryId/638/Win-your-share-of- 10-000-000-with-Bing-Maps-and-Navteq.aspx Any questions feel free to ask J John.
