Now is your chance to be like Jessica Alba and Cam Newton and have your Windows Phone 8 app star in a primetime TV ad. The contest is called Windows Phone Next App Star, and it is open to Windows Phone developers worldwide. It’s easy to participate; registered developers can just visit Dev Center to opt-in* by March 5th, and we’ll enter your catalog of published apps in the competition.

It’s a fun, head-to-head, bracket-style competition that starts by rating all the entries and selecting the top 64. Then, these 64 are whittled down over several weeks of consumer voting.If you haven’t yet developed a Windows Phone app (or you want to make tweaks to an existing app), you can register today and publish your app by March 5th to participate (note: your app must be published and live by March 5thto participate).

Check out this short video with Channel 9’s Laura Foy for more contest details. The official rules are available. Don't wait. Go sign up now.
