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.

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.

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;-)

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;-)

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