Your skills with Microsoft's XNA development platform could bear fruit if you enter the 'Ocean Odyssey' XNA Game Development Competition where £5,000 worth of prizes can be won.
Set up by the XNA UK User Group, the competition is open to anyone and everyone who reckons they're XNA gods and is split into three categories - artwork, music and gameplay (coding).
It's already up and running, and if you're an art and/or sound person you'll have to get those creative juices flowing pretty quick as entries for the art and sound categories must be in by June 12.
The coding category, meanwhile, opens on June 15. Judging of the entries in all three categories will occur on June 27 and winners announced the following week.

Full details on the competition can be found on www.xna-uk.net.
