Alright all of you PHP gurus (and wannabe gurus) out there - your time to grab the spotlight has come, and you better act fast to get involved!

From DotGeek.org: DotGeek.org is proud to announce the first ever PHP Programming Marathon. The DotGeek Programming Marathon is a special competition to separate the freaks from the geeks. Only the CRYPTiest and the OOPiest of you can survive the Marathon. Take no hostages and let thy force be with you!

The prizes for this contest include packages like:

• 1st Prize Eluminix Keyboard @ ThinkGeek.org + Zend Studio 3 + Free Hosting @ dotGeek.org
• 2nd Prize Midas Watch @ ThinkGeek.org + Free Hosting @ dotGeek.org
• 3rd Prize Si-5 Portable Speakers@ ThinkGeek.org + Free Hosting @ dotGeek.org

There are all sorts of other rules to this contest, but you need to sign up for a user ID to get in to the good stuff. Basically, the idea is that they message you with the problem, and you send them back your code - within 24 hours. Sound easy? Well, just think about the possible problems they could create. For more information, check out the DotGeek website.
