If not the entry will be excluded. As the organisers we want the competitions to be fair and fun, but we need some tight rules to make our lives and everyone's easier! Following are the general competition rules: * All contributions must be delivered to the organisers before the deadline. - Deadlines for the different competitions can not be moved because of the many competitions. - Deadlines for the various competitions will be posted around the venue from the start of the party. * All contributions must be delivered on 3.5" DD or HD floppy disks and equiped with a party label. The label must be filled out with information about: - in which competition the contribution participates, - title of the production, - group and name/handle of the contributor, - machine and OS for running the production, (Also for PC demo/code which mem config and sound card to use) (For the multi ch comp which format the track is in) - number of disks total, - length in minutes, - how to run the contribution. * The organisers reserve the right to exclude any entry from the competition for whatever reason. The entrant(s) will have a chance to appeal that decision before the competition. * Sorry the disks will not be returned, so you'd better remember to make backups. * Every contribution can only participate in one competition, and the rules for that competition must be followed. * For the Multichannel Music comp, the track will be played on the GUSPnP with the formats player, ie; .IT - Impulse Tracker, .XM - Fast Tracker 2, etc. * For all entries include a .txt file describing the entry and group, as all entries will be distributed after the results are out. * For the music comp's only the song name will be displayed and used in voting. No musicians names will be announced until results are out. So the name of the song MUST NOT hint on the musicians name. * Also with the gfx comp, you MUST NOT sign the entry! Only the title will be displayed. The last two rules are for fairness of voting, so that one artist's name / reputation cannot affect his entries results in any way. __/\__ __/\__ \ OO / \ OO / /_\/_\ C O M P E T I T I O N S P E C I F I C S /_\/_\ \/ \/ Demo Competitions (PC and Amiga) * A group can contribute with as many demos as they want to. * A maximum of 20 minutes will be shown of each demo. * Maximum size is 5 MB. * The demo must not write anything to the Hard Disk. * The demo must be exitable.
