user javascript, contest, community
This contest has been the topic of discussion since June last year (and most likely even longer). The goal of this contest is to find out who can create the best User JavaScript in the following two categories:
- Best site enhancement
- Best tool (in general)
The best User JavaScript overall will be awarded with a brand new HTC Touch Diamond™ with Opera Mobile 9.5 pre-installed.
Guidelines:
We've defined a set of guidelines which will help us evaluate submissions, but also assist you in creating a winning entry. We recommend everyone have a look in the User JavaScript tutorials hosted on userjs.org, but also our own "Take control with User JavaScript" guides are a solid read.
- The script must not create variables or functions in the global scope or leak information to the page it runs in (anonymous functions).
- The script must not modify Object.prototype properties.
- Any changes to a site's own scripts or DOM should be as small as possible and as resilient to site changes as possible.
- Sites that are enhanced / fixed must be publicly available. If user accounts are required, registration must be free.
- You're free to participate in either one or both categories.
- Deadline is Tuesday, July 15th.
In addition, the script must be well documented / commented:
- What is being fixed or enhanced?
- How does the fix or enhancement work?
- How can we test the script?
To submit your entry, please use this competition form. The User JavaScript file can be hosted (for example) on your own My Opera files account (zip the folder along with documentation and upload). Please include a short summary about your User JavaScript along with a download link. All entries will be revised by Opera staff.
We've created a forum post for any questions or comments you may have regarding this contest.
Good luck, everyone! We can't wait to see those great submissions!

contest, opera mini
Opera Mini is now in its 4th version, and to celebrate an upcoming release, we want to create a collage featuring people using Opera Mini from around the world. 
Therefore, we're reaching out to you. We would like to tribute you on our product pages (among other places) with a picture (head shot) and a testimonial (1-2 sentences) about why you love Opera Mini.
It's recommended that you submit a picture of yourself which is in good quality (high resolution and minimal amount of noise). Feel free to snap a picture of yourself doing something fun while surfing the Web on your phone, or something similar. All you need is a camera and a good chunk of imagination. Just be sure to have your face fairly prominent in the picture.
The reward for those who're used in the collage will receive an Opera goodie-bag and instant Internet fame by being recognized with our smallest (but most powerful) browser . 
Good luck everyone, and we can't wait to see those testimonials!
Rules
- Deadline is on Monday, May 12th.
- Images are limited to .jpg, .gif, .png and .pdf. If you would like to use a different format, please send an inquiry first.
- Email attachments are limited to 1 MB. Please send an inquiry if your submission is greater than 1 MB size, or if you have a location to host your file (such as your My Opera Community account), simply send the link.
- It is prohibited to send content which is defamatory, offensive or abusive or of an obscene or menacing nature.
- Send your entry as an attachment or upload it to your My Opera Community page, and email the link.
- By sending us your submission, you accept that Opera Software ASA may re-use your submission for marketing purposes.
