Topic pinned for you. 
I've got a few things on that weekend, but time and idea permitting I'll try to whip up some sort of mini-game for an entry.

I've never done one of these contest sorts of things, and I'm pretty new here, but I might participate. I'm really busy in the next few weeks, but if I happen to have the weekend off, I'll do something.
Do you put any sort of restriction on content/platform/etc?

Still mildly curious about this.
We never had that requirement in past challenges.

I think that mostly depends on the judges' testing environments, but the more people can play it the better of course. You can check the previous contests following the links in the original post to get an idea of what kind of games were submitted in the past.

What Wan said
Releasing the code isn't a requirement. There are not platform requirements either, but as Wan said the more judges that can play your game the better!

If anyone has any cool prizes they'd be willing to offer up to pitch in that'd be mighty awesome
Also note that we'll want as many contestants as we can and more judges!

I could add a poll, but I'd prefer if more people just plain sign up to be judges

I'll be flying out tomorrow morning for a 5 day vacation in Vegas, so I'll only be checking into this thread sporadically during that time. I hope to see more volunteers for contestants, judges, and prizes

Ready, though my social/work life is not.
Some things must be sacrificed for the greater good of this competition, though.
[edit]
I dunno if you can gift GDNet+ subscriptions, but I'd be willing to gift a 1 month GDNet+ subscription as a prize (or a contribution of $5 to a longer subscription).

Timezone failure for me to. Another 34 minutes to go.

[Edit:] Okay, I lied, 10 minutes to go, then I'll head to be once I find out the theme. Anyone else waiting impatiently, here's something to read while you wait.
