Loads of contests are currently going on at Sun for Students. I suggest everyone to participate in atleast one of them. Each of them carries fabulous prizes:
Code For Freedom
This year the format of the CFF contest is entirely new and is designed to generate enthusiasm for open source software technology and to encourage academic developers to contribute software applications that demonstrate use and adoption of various Sun open source technologies. The contest is open to any college student in India and provides many exciting prizes. Students are required to submit complete project implementations that use at least two Sun open source technologies and are developed using either Netbeans or Sun Studio. Contest has started on 20 September 2008.
