We cordially invite you to the 13th edition of the biggeST event for fans of Atari consoles and computers in the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjV-jqGaTcs

The SV winter edition website has just been launched! Sign up for the attendance list - www.sillyventure.eu

Although Silly Venture is an ATARI-only event, it is no secret that each edition brings together a friendly group of people associated with the C64 and ZX Spectrum scenes. There was a separate "C64 intro-demo compo" category at the summer edition of SV. We have heard that there are also competition entries for this platform prepared for the winter edition of SV, therefore there will be a separate category - "C64 intro/demo compo" as well (we would not like to throw such entries into the Wild category, out of respect for our colleagues from other scenes).

But that's not all - because Sir Clive Sinclair, the creator of the ZX Spectrum computer, has suddenly passed away this year - the "ZX Spectrum intro/demo compo" category will also be added.

Regardless of the number of submitted entries (even single ones), there will be separate categories for both of these platforms.

Full-time free beer returns to the winter edition of SV.

I am pleased to inform you that Jakub Husak will play his concert (for the first time in history!) at the winter edition of SV - legend of demoscene and gamedev on 8-bit Atari in Poland.



During the concert you will listen to known songs in new arrangements - such as the famous - "Five to Five"!

So? Are you ready? :)

Thanks to Hospes for the poster.

Travelling to Poland - Coronavirus information and recommendations:

https://www.gov.pl/web/coronavirus/travel

We will inform our foreign guests about any changes regarding the Coronavirus in Poland - information will also be posted on the official website of the event. So far, there is no reason to panic and no one is announcing a lockdown this year due to the large number of people vaccinated in Poland.

As in previous editions, the participants of "Silly Venture" receive special discounts on accommodation in nearby hotels and hostels using "ATARI" as a password!

Details can be found at this link: https://www.sillyventure.eu/en/location-accommodation

I am pleased to inform you that the prize pool for the winter edition of SV has been enriched by Darek Grajewski (DaruG)! And because our demoscene mates from the C-64 scene regularly appear at our party, one of the awards should not be too much of a surprise 😃

1. Commodore 64 with Tapecart microSD



2. Atari 1040 STe



Both prizes are planned to be handed over to the winners of the ATARI XL/XE DEMO COMPO, only if there are at least 3 entries in this category (currently 2 entries are declared) - Atari 1040 STe for 1st place and C64 for 2nd place.

If any of you has not yet reported your willingness to submit an entry in this category - please let us know!

Once again, I would like to thank my friend Darek for the gifts! 🙂

p.s. Declarations in the ZX Spectrum Intro / Demo Compo category are also welcome. We want to be good prepared.

Only one week left for T-shirt orders!

SILLY VENTURE 2021 WINTER EDITION T-SHIRTS

Fill the form and wait for the mail with details about the payment etc. after 22nd November 2021.

Attention! Monday, November 22nd is the last day you can order SV2021 winter edition T-shirts! We do not guarantee that there will be any extra pcs during the event, so it's worth ordering now!

LINK TO SV2021 WINTER EDITION T-SHIRTS

Listen, this is important - I have to outsource the production of medals or statuettes this week. I am asking people who plan to submit something in compos (for Atari, C64 or ZX Spectrum), please contact me in PM on messenger or via e-mail: atari (at) sillyventure.eu

Unfortunately, after each SV edition, there are quite a few of them left, this time I would like to minimize this situation - so thank you in advance for your help!

In less than 2 weeks we meet again this year! :) With some of you physically, with others virtually. From 9th to 12th December we will have 4 days of fun with ATARI. Although only 4 months have passed since the summer edition, there will be still plenty competition entries to watch! :) We already receive beautiful GFX entries for competitions (for 8-bit and 16-bit Atari), demo entries are coming for the following platforms: Atari 2600, Atari XL/XE, ST/STe, Lynx and Jaguar :) It seems that the winter edition of SV should not be worse than summer one! Many emotions await us - mainly related to ATARI, but not only! Sir Clive Sinclair passed away this year, the creator of the legendary ZX Spectrum computer, so in his honor we decided to organize competitions in the category Intro/Demo Compo also for this platform - and as far as we know, the number of competition entries will be greater than that required in the compo-rules (traditionally we keep our finger on the pulse!) :) Also our colleagues from the C64 scene are preparing something interesting. Therefore, if any of you are not going to SV, but would like to feel this special mood at least partially - the purchase of "Sofa Ticket" ("Voting for Sofa-Sceners") gives you such a possibility! Thanks to this, you will be able to vote online for the competition entries and decide who will ultimately be on podium and to whom the award will go! Not to mention the fact that by purchasing one of the tickets you support the event in this way...

Thank you in advance!

LONG LIVE ATARI DREAM!

Close, closer... Silly Venture! We are less than two weeks away from our next meeting!

Are you ready?

SV2021 TICKETS

Thanks to Hospes for the poster!

We are only a few days away from the party! Despite many difficulties, the SV will take place on the planned date from Thursday, December 9 at. 4pm to Sunday, December 12 at 2pm! Of course, the most awaited moment are the competitions that have been combined into one big block - you will be able to see them during the stream on Saturday, December 11 at 5pm! Every moment we receive new submissions from you, so it promises to be a long and exciting evening, full of entries for all ATARI platforms - VCS, XL/XE, ST/STe, Lynx, Falcon and Jaguar! But not only! There will also be strong accents related to the C64 and ZX Spectrum! If you cannot physically participate in our event - support Silly Venture by purchasing one of the available tickets:

https://www.sillyventure.eu/en/tickets

Each of them allows you to vote online during Saturday's contests - just before the stream, you will receive a special code in the e-mail with instructions. When you buy "Strong Ticket" you will also receive a specially designed new scarf with a Silly Venture motif (or any other offered by Retro Venture), which will be sent to you by post. If for some reason you haven't received the previous one from the summer edition yet - both + small gadgets related to the current winter edition will be sent! :)

Thanks again for your support.

See you at the party and... in front of the screens! :)

On Friday afternoon we invite you to the concert of Crazy Q from DHS (Sweden)! Start at 3:30pm! (polish time zone)
