xbmc visualization competition

team xecuter has kindly offered to donate 10 final versions of the xecuter 3 modchip to the xboxmediacenter project for us to run this audio visualization development competition. the purpose of this competition is to develop new audio visualization plugins for xbmc and/or extend xbmc's visualisation interface, hopefully it will also encourage more programmers to join the xboxmediacenter development. the competition starts of right away and will end two months from now. all good entries (winners or not) can be integrated in xbmc, however the top-10 entries (decided by the xboxmediacenter team) will each win one state-of-the-art x3, a top-of-the-line modchip by xecuter for the xbox, so new that you can't even buy one yet, thanks team xecuter!
