The new deadline for submissions is midnight (GMT) on December 2nd, 2007.
Public voting for the submissions will take place from December 10th-16th and winners will be announced on December 24, 2007.
So, if you've been holding off on entering due to time constraints, go ahead and reconsider, you just got a deadline extension. And if you've already sent in your submission, you now have some extra time to refine it if you need to.
Finally, to clarify the rules: Only entries in the APIs category need to be released under the open source MIT license. For entries in the web and mobile categories, you can submit a link to the project along with a description of how SWX RPC is used in your site or application.

Excellent news. I’d given up on my API effort as there wasn’t enough time for me to complete it. An extra month is great news!
Thanks.
Ditto here. I’m currently moving all the stuff on my game portal site (www.thecodezone.com) from remoting to SWX, as that Flash Lite ‘ll trivialize getting the site to work on Flash Lite clients. Also, I wasn’t planning to open-source my site
One note. The contest page still says that the deadline is 10/28.
Thanks for clarifying the open source requirements — that was my main reason for not entering the galtogal site!
@David: That’s great news! Good luck with your API
@John: Coolness! And thanks for the heads up on the site. I fixed the contest page and updated the date on the main SWX page too.
@Jon: Great! I hope the extended deadline will mean that you get the chance to enter the other sites you’re working with SWX too. (Was great to meet you person at FITC, btw.)
super! i was considering to participate but since the deadline was so short.. now i’m sure i have enough time to try to make something cool =).
Cool! Looking forward to seeing your entry
