Microsoft has just announced a new contest for Windows 8 users, as the company celebrates four months since the launch of its latest operating system.

Users are thus invited to create a video “that showcases their personal Windows 8 story” and enter the contest to win “awesome” prizes worth over $50,000 (€38,250), including an ORIGIN BIG O Gaming PC with a touchscreen monitor, Surface Pros, a trip for two to a New York City Artist#Talk event, Windows 8 gear and more.

“Today marks exactly four months since launch of Windows 8 and your thoughts, comments, and discussions have reverberated throughout social media with a lot of excitement. Now, we would like to take it one step further: we want you to show us what you love to do and how Windows 8 is helping you do it,” Microsoft said in a post.

Full contest rules, including a registration link for those who want to submit their videos, are available here.
