Intel Game Demo Contest
Posted by: Rob Loach at March 23, 2006 2:15:16 PM

Game Developers, how about an $80,000 leap ahead? Your game demo could earn you serious cash, powerful PCs, software tools, and great exposure.

On March 22, 2006, Intel will launch a contest to find the best game demos that showcase the features and performance of Intel platforms.

Enter in one or both categories:
  • Best Threaded Game
  • Best Game on the Go (Mobile Gaming Technology)

To win your share of over $80,000 in prizes, including top-of-the-line PCs and Intel Software Products!

The contest will be launched officially at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose on March 22nd.

The official rules are available as well as the ability to register. For more information, visit the official website.

After reading the rules the whole thing sounds more like a $80,000 dollar marketing project than a game demo contest.

How many competitions have you came across that had considerable prizes (such as $80,000)? Of course they will be very much about the sponsors, and the contest's goals will be catered to promote them in some way. People dont just give away $80,000 for free.

I actually think it is very fair; they have very basic and open requirements, they dont require you to have intel logo's all over your demo etc. Both the catergories you can enter have non-intel specific requirements (multi-threaded game and mobile game), I personally think that goals such as those are very well chosen (multithreaded seems to be the future with the new consoles and processors being multi-core, similarly we are getting more and more mobile and wireless with other systems - phones, psp, ds, pocketpc, omega).

I can't seem to find a contact email address on that site, but can you enter both with the same demo?

I would assume so, but we all know what assuming does.

Because you don't want to be identified?

Yeah, it's a pity because it means most Demosceners can't enter. But they'd surely destroy any competition if they were allowed to compete ;)
