BADGE Killer Demo Contest 2 --- Latest Update ----------------------------------------------------------------- BADGE in association with AmiEXPO presents BADGE Killer Demo Contest 2 to be held Friday, October 20, at 7:00 pm in Santa Clara Convention Center, Sections A & C. Admission is free and open to the general public. Members of BADGE and all Amiga User Groups are encouraged to attend! The audience will participate in the voting. The winners will be announced on Sunday afternoon at AmiEXPO and will be notified personally by phone or mail. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Below are the guidelines for entries and the list of prizes. If you haven't sent in your entry, send it in now! We'll be accepting entries until the day before the contest; however, the earlier it gets to us, the better. Entries might be disqualified if they do not meet the guidelines listed below. Sending your entry in early gives us time to notify you if something is wrong with the demo. Entries should be submitted on floppy to: BADGE Contest P.O. Box 31008 Los Gatos, CA 95031 The rules for the contest are very basic. Each entry > must be easy to install and run > must be safe to run > must be freely distributable > must promote the Amiga Any entry can be disqualified for the following reasons: < the entry crashes the system < the entry has or installs a virus < the entry does not exit the system cleanly < the entry is not freely distributable < the entry requires disk to be write enabled All entries should be accompanied with a README file indicating the minimum configuration required to run the demo and exactly how to start and stop it. The following prizes have been promised so far; at this point the list is subject to change (most likely grow). As the list finalizes we will provide up-to-date information. Amiga Jacket donated by Boing A2000 donated by Commodore Programmer's Guide to the Amiga + disk, The Amiga Companion donated by Datapath Elan Performer donated Elan Design Populous, Zany Golf donated by Electronic Arts A2620 Board donated by Go Amigo DigiView Gold, DigiPaint 3 donated by NewTek AmigaTeX donated by Radical Eye Software 2400 baud mini modem donated by Xecom BADGE is the "Bay area Amiga Developers GroupE". The group consists of developers and users who enjoy working on the Amiga and want to promote it wherever possible. The goal of BADGE Killer Demo Contest is to get people to create demos that promote the Amiga; it has succeeded twice so far (in BKDC0 and BKDC1) to attract a killer collection of demos which have made their way into dealer windows and many freely distributable disk collections. BKDC0 Best Overall winner was "RGB," by Joel Hagen; BKDC1 winner was "Charon," by Brad Schenck. BKDC2 is your chance to become famous! Please give this posting wide distribution; if you don't see it on your favorite bulletin board, upload it; if you don't see it in your local user group newsletter, give it to the editor. If you have friends who use Amigas but don't read newsletters or bulletin boards, print copies out for them, too!
