Here's the latest on the contest... If you have any questions, mail them to me (ali@polya.stanford.edu). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- BADGE Killer Demo Contest 2 The entry deadline for BADGE Killer Demo Contest 2 (BKDC2) is September 1, 1989. Entries should be submitted on floppy to: BADGE Contest P.O. Box 31008 Los Gatos, CA 95031 You may submit your entry later than the deadline; however the closer it gets to the contest date the harder it will be for us to get back to you if we encounter any problems in getting your demo to run. 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 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 Judging will take place at the September 1989 meeting (most likely to be held on the third Thursday, September 21st) of BADGE, with the audience voting. There will be no explicit categories for "best graphics" or "best sound" (unlike last year), however, there will be a special award for the funniest demo, and, of course, awards for the overall winners. 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! Ali Ozer (ali@polya.stanford.edu)
