Hotshot PSP homebrew developers, gather around. If you think you have an application or game that's sure to be a fan favorite or a major ground-breaker, PSP-Hacks is announcing its very first homebrew competition for this year. The competition started two days ago (February 27), and is still open for entries. Here are the contest rules:

• Must be your own homebrew. No improving or updating other people's homebrew.
• Must start from scratch. Must not be something that you made a while back. If it was posted somewhere else already, it doesn't count.
• No copying other people's work. At the end of the competition, you must either post your source code with your homebrew or you may just pm any mod or admin with your source code if you do not want your code to be public for everyone.
• You may post your Homebrew for feedback and you can continue to improve your work up until April 29, 2007 when the competition ends
• Can be either a game or application that runs on the PSP
• If you are creating an application for the PSP, the application must be in EBOOT form in order for it to be entered in the competition.

• Must not enter your homebrew in another competition while entering in this competition. If you enter your homebrew in this competition, then it must not be entered in another site's competition.
