Competitions

• All entries must be submitted via our intranet - where applicable.
  
• Use descriptive filenames.
  
• At least one of the authors of the entry must be present at the party.
  
• There may be pre-screenings during the party. Entries can be disqualified because of their content or, for example, because there is no machine the entry can run on. The organisers have ultimate power.
  
• Any machine running a competition entry in the competition may not be connected to the Internet. The entries may contain net-using features but they must work without the net, too.
  

Alternative Demo Competition

• You know what a demo is, right? If not, see Wikipedia's description.
  
• The purpose of this competition is to bring out new ideas in demos, whatever the platform and method. A field for creativity.
  
• Maximum length is 8 minutes, or until we get bored.
  

Dynamic Demos

• We wish to continue to push this idea from Alt V as we believe it to be one worth exploring.
  
• Dynamic demos will be shown twice as part of the main demo competition and will compete with the other demos there.
  
• In addition, they will be ranked in their own series and the best will receive their own good prizes (TBA). Note that this means that a good dynamic demo can win two prizes — both in the normal category as well as the dynamic one!
  
• The demo must be noticeably different every time it is run. It can use randomisation or evolution or any other technique to accomplish this. Your mind is the limit.
  
• How exactly it should change is left for the participants to decide, though be warned that watching the same demo with only slight randomisation can be boring.
  
• Untraditionally for demos, dynamic demos may write to the disk for the purpose of evolution.
  

Telephone Queue Music Competition

• Music to be played in a telephone queue or f.ex. a lift.
  
• Maximum playing time is 45 seconds.
  
• The entry should be in MP3 or OGG format.
  

Logo Competition

• Design a logo for Alternative Party.
  
• Allowed file formats: SVG, PS, PDF, GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF
  

Music Video Competition

• Maximum length is 5 minutes or until we get bored.
  
• The video must be delivered as an MPEG file.
  
• The music or the video must not have been previously released or distributed.
  
• The production must state the names of the artist and the song at the beginning of the video.
  

Presentation Competition

• You have ten minutes to give the audience a presentation using a microphone and a computer running either Microsoft PowerPoint or OpenOffice.org Impress.
  
• A maximum of two people are allowed to participate in the presentation
  
• The presentation file (one .ppt or .sxi file) must be submitted to organisers beforehand. You may not use other files.
  
• You may use whatever you can embed into the file - macros, pictures, music - you name it.
  

Most Obscure Computer Competition

• As usual we will pick the most obscure, strange or rare machine or piece of hardware we can find.
  

More competitions to be announced.

ooh i fucked up... dynamic demo is a subset of alternative demo competition...

click the url

for dynamic demo one could just submit two totally different demos and a loader that makes sure the other one is run every second time, right? i like the idea though. rand() is a cool function.

Hope that we get better use of idea that last year. Atleast Im going to try.

hmm maybe i should try dynamic demo too... for dreamcast :)

I didn't get it... is the "dynamic demo" the *only* demo competition, or are there two separate demo compos (one for classical "alt" demo, and one for "dynamic" demo)?

You're not just a little dull, are you?

Very funny homepage!

no internet submissions allowed? ok, i boycott it.

uttumuttu: one democompo, dynamic demos preferred but its not mandatory for your demo to be dynamic. just highly encouraged;-)

*bump it up*

Yes, indeed. The homepage rules!

Best party page, EVER.

*insert xbox support query*

I'll try to be there this time, uncle-x :)

pfft. we had that website idea a long time ago. :) but they did it much better. some good compo ideas too.

Great site! haha!
But 14th - 16th january is going to be soooo f*cking cold!!

shifter: i guess the traditional altparty "all platforms are supported. just as long as you bring it along" rule applies again... You could ask setok for confirmation.

xbit: you know we have this thing called 'indoors' in Finland. its kinda like the opposite of 'outdoors'. i don't know if you have that in seal-fucker-country, tho;-)

uncle-x: hard to trick seals indoors..

Please spread the word now!

its one week to go dudes, start getting your asses over here!

I have a dynamic demo who's platform is a living seal. but as slummy points out, bringing this platform is rather difficult.
