The object of this competition is to create a cool JavaScript "application" no larger than 1k. Starting out as a joke, the first version ended with a serious amount of submissions, prizes and quality.
Judges
The hand picked jury consists of people who have set their name in the JavaScript and/or demo scene community. They are fit for jury duty and will be the sole governing body on the results.
