If your answer is positive then Quest Software’s PowerPack Challenge 2009 is for you. Quest Software is sponsoring this contest where you can test your PowerShell scripting skills and get paid. Just create some cool PowerShell scripts using Quest’s PowerGUI , and then post them to their site. Winners can receive up to $1,000 USD to spend on Amazon.com.

The event details and rules can be found HERE and on Dmitry’s blog as well, and in this year’s event I’m participating in the contest judges panel :)

To create a PowerPack, download PowerGUI , the ultimate scripting tool. Then, show the world your PowerShell scripting muscle. Combine your arsenal for one – or many – PowerPacks. The choice is yours!

Some video resources to get you started with PowerPack authoring:

So, see you at the contest and GOOD LUCK!
