Title: (Fairly) easy way to win free all-access GDC pass. Post by: simoniker on February 27, 2009, 09:54:57 AM Hey guys,
Just wanted to point out that Green Label Gaming (the subtle bit of Mountain Dew!) are teaming with us (GDC folks) to give away TWENTY all-access GDC 2009 passes in a competition to help deserving developers with fun ideas come to GDC. (They're also adding $10,000 to the Seumas McNally Grand Prize for IGF this year, making that prize $30k, and they're not even going to get up on stage and make a fuss about it, which is nice of them.) Anyhow, because of the short notice (and the fact we already have IGF for actual games!), it's a 'write your thoughts' competition rather than a 'make a game' competition, about imagining games in 2020 (they will probably have more Goatse in them). But I know a lot of TIGSource folks are pretty perceptive, so you'll probably have a decent chance at winning if you enter something erudite, given there are 20 prizes. Here's the info: http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2009/02/competition_imagine_the_games.php Deadline is next Wednesday (4th) or so, winners will be notified in 24 hours. See you at GDC, Simon@IGF.

That's pretty bad ass. I was wondering if they'd want to rename the Seamus McNally award like... the Super Extreme Mountain Dew Seamus McNally Grand Prize. But they didn't. Respect. :gentleman: Title: Re: (Fairly) easy way to win free all-access GDC pass.

And on topic--this is a sweet opportunity for passes! Title: Re: (Fairly) easy way to win free all-access GDC pass. Post by: simoniker on March 01, 2009, 10:01:29 AM What will be done with the winning entries? There will be a Gamasutra feature showcasing the winners. We won't 'own' any of the ideas, in case anyone is worried about that, heh. Title: Re: (Fairly) easy way to win free all-access GDC pass. Post by: Zaphos on March 01, 2009, 10:26:43 AM Nice :)
I wasn't worried, was just curious what the audience was, and also if I'd get to see the winners! Title: Re: (Fairly) easy way to win free all-access GDC pass. Post by: hamburger on March 06, 2009, 11:05:55 PM HOOOORRRAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to take this opportunity to brag that I won an all-access pass by predicting the future. :tearsofjoy: I did sorta cheat a little bit, though. Well, not really. For my game of the future idea, I took my work-in-progress robot programming game (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=4954.0) and simply futurized it.

Do you think this competition might run next year as well? Title: Re: (Fairly) easy way to win free all-access GDC pass. Post by: JamesPopStar on March 07, 2009, 01:11:11 PM Oh, nuts. I totally missed out on this. :( Guess I have to pay my way into GDC. :'(
