@SovGVD: Well, if you submitted your widget for the challenge using the form and it's now appearing at widgets.opera.com, then you're in

Just keep watching the blog for more announcements

2navjotpawera: i submit it !twice!, but nothing happend. I still doesnt know is my widget in contest list =(
Send it (http://www.opera.com/competition/form.dml) in third time: "Opera Widgets competition Thank you for your participation!". Maybe now someone approve it =)

This is quite stupid to provide only this message for users who want to see the widget in Opera 9.27:

Sorry, this widget is not approved for your device/browser

This widget contains elements which will not be displayed correctly on your device. This may be the result of a choice made by the author or by Opera Software staff.

You should allow to access the widget's info page at least and show such message if user wants to download a widget from older version of Opera...

Congratulations tagawa!!

I am very honored you became the First weekly winner of the X-Widgets contest from Japan also as a member of Choose Opera Japan

It's extremely cool thing!

Thanks keiki-san, although I'm not quite the programming ninja in your smiley!

You may have seen I've now added a Japanese translation to the widget so hopefully more people can find it useful.
