About a month ago I was asked about being a judge for a very large Flash Game contest. With over $40,000 in prizes I was tempted to say no and just enter the contest myself, but alas, I simply have too much going on so I signed on.
This contest is somewhat unique in that, there are so many various prizes on the line, anyone entering has an incredible chance to win something, even if their game isn’t even in the top 10 overall best. For example… you can win $500 just for having the best menu screen!
The contest is about encouraging people to innovate and come up with something new and great, even if it IS just a mere menu.
Aside from all the rewarding bonuses on the line are the 10 overall prizes ranging from $250 for 10th place, all the way to $10,000 for the first place winner. These winners are all to be determined by a panel of judges with a lot of credibility in the Flash game industry, including Tom Fulp (newgrounds.com), Skye (XGen Studios), Edmun McMillen (ColdStrageDesigns, Gish, Diverge.ws) and Mike Max (MaxGames.com).
The contest isn’t open for games that have already been published prior to the contest starting date, so there is still plenty of time to get started and get a leg up on the competition.
If you are a flash developer who is confident in their skills… you have GOT to take this opportunity!
