Daily prizes

We've partnered with Microsoft to offer some amazing prizes in this competition, which is open to anyone in the UK who's 16 or over.
There are prizes for the ten best apps, and more prizes are being given out EVERY DAY until 3.30pm on Christmas Eve, in a series of prize draws chosen entirely at random. So everybody has a chance to win! Here's the full prize breakdown:

Daily prize: a 32GB Windows tablet.
Extra prize draw: A Dell Workstation, a Wacom 24 HD Tablet and a 16GB Lytro Camera.
Each author of the top ten apps will get a Windows 8 Ultrabook, a Windows tablet and a Nokia Lumia 920 Windows 8 Phone.
The Grand Prize winner will also win a Dell Workstation, a Wacom 24 HD Tablet and a 16GB Lytro Camera.
