   When contests are on?
  Firstly, I'd like to make it clear that I'm sorry for posting this. I'm 100% positive I've missed something really obvious on this forum.Anyway, I'd just like to know the following about the competitions:When are they on?What kind of frequency are they on?Is there somewhere I can sign up to in order to be notified the first day the contest starts?Is there a tutorial on submitting things?If someone could answer these questions or, more likely, post me a link to where these questions have already been answered, I'd be very greatful.Thanks!

To be honest your questions serve to remind me of the job I'm supposed to be doing...Quote:When are they on?Whenever I (or others) have the time to run them.Quote:What kind of frequency are they on?One every couple of months, really - though you're guaranteed at least one big contest a year (like one that runs for 6 months), usually starting in the summer.Quote:Is there somewhere I can sign up to in order to be notified the first day the contest starts?Not currently. I should set that up.Quote:Is there a tutorial on submitting things?Nope, partly because it's specific to each contest, but partly because the process is pretty straightforward (upload to FTP and fill out a form).   ;  Did you saw this one:48-Hour Game Programming Competition (Starting: April 28 2006 8:00 PM US Pacific);Quote:Original post by KambizDid you saw this one:48-Hour Game Programming Competition (Starting: April 28 2006 8:00 PM US Pacific)Can I use any of the themes from the final round of theme voting for my submission to that competition?;  I don't believe this contest is associated with Gamedev.netIf you want to enter the contest, the theme you have to work on is swarms. The final round of voting was to determine which of the 10 themes would be used.  I believe it's done this way so that people can't get much of a head start.  Doesn't stop people from trying to think of stuff though.It's been running for 11 hours or so by now so better get started if you wanna give it a shot.  At this instant though (7:30 am MTN) it looks as though the site is down for whatever reason.   ;Quote:Original post by ksehI don't believe this contest is associated with Gamedev.netNope, sure ain't.   ;  eh, dammit, I guess I need to run another 3H-GDC.Won't be this week, I'm taking my car apart.   ;  It would be nice to know a week or two in advance when a contest starts. It doesn't matter so much for 4E contests, but, for instance, I found the dual vision (?) contest really interesting and had a cool idea, but didn't have time to prepare so I didn't enter.   ;Quote:Original post by SrekelIt would be nice to know a week or two in advance when a contest starts.

For what it's worth, 4E5 will be starting in the next week or two [smile]   ;Quote:Original post by superpigNoted.
