Also, prizes were distributed to contest winners. These lucky winners got a voucher for laptop and out of those 10 winners 3 of them got the chance to go to the Tech-Ed 2008 @ Orlando.

Also, all the attendes were lucky to get a 1 GB pen drive + evaluation copies of Windows Server 2008, VS 2008 Team Suite.
