    Hey Vivek, I live in Canada and the contest exclude the residents of Quebec!!! How about that! The contest is NOT opened to all residents of Canada. This is getting very annoying.

    Hi Marco, thanks for your interest in the contest. You are right, the contest is currently not open to residents of Quebec. We will be launching broader programs in the future as we rollout our outreach across more geographies. The Office Store though is currently open for developers from Quebec. You can visit sellerdashboard.microsoft.com today and submit apps to be listed on the Office Store. We hope to see your apps on the Store soon :)

    If I build an App and submit it for the contest, do I still get to keep ownership of the App? When it sells on the App Store do I still get to keep my 80%? Or does Microsoft own it now?

    Rob, thanks for your interest. Entering your app into the contest does not change any terms or ownership of the app. You will continue to own the app and earn 80% on app revenue
