.---| General info about competitions |------- ---  --   -
|   `---------------------------------'
|
| The organizers reserve the right to make any changes to the
| competition rules, and to disqualify any entry if it is not suitable to
| attend the competitions for some reason. So don't include any explicit
| sexual, racist or disturbing material.
|
| Atleast one of the authors of a competiting product has to be present
| at the party place in order to attend the competitions and to
| receive possible prizes. In solo competitions (music, graphics, 4kb)
| the author has to be present.
|
| Only contributions deliverd before the deadline will participate in the
| competitions.
|
| A jury composed of known scene people (maybe even you!) will select
| an amount of 15 entries in each competition to the finals (to be shown
| on the big screen to the audience). There will be different people in
| the PC and Amiga jurys.
|
| "Maximum running length" below is only the amount of time we will
| show a particular piece of art on the big screen.
|
| The demos/intros will have to run without ANY user interaction
| once started (although there can be a setup screen).
|
| The filenames of the productions have to comply with the ISO-9660
| standard. This means that the only characters allowed in filenames are
| "A-Z" and "0-9". The maximum length of the filename is 8+3 characters
| as in MS DOS standard.
|
| The productions MUST NOT save any files (for example configuration
| files) on the hard disk or the disk.
|
| In the music, graphics, raytracing and 4kb intro competitions only one
| of the authors (if there are more than one) can be the official author
| of the competing piece of art. For example, if two coders work on the
| same 4kb intro, only one of them can receive the prize and his name in
| the party results. After all, these three competitions are meant to be
| solo competitions.
|
| The authors have to have all copyrights to their production. If you are
| dumb enough to rip graphics from Quake we won't be dumb enough to show
| it on the screen.
|
| All entries will be distributed immediately after ASSEMBLY. If you wish
| to release a bugfixed version, submit that to the info crew before the
| end of the party.
|
| All entries will be included on the Erave 3 CD-ROM, which will be
| released approximately one month after party.

.----| Prizes |--------------------------- ---  --   -
|    `--------'
|
| The total value of all the prizes in US dollars will be over US $ 43 000
| (not including software). The actual prizes may be software, hardware or
| pure |cash.This depends on our sponsors. The following list includes only
| the |pre-liminary list of the prizes (the final lists will be published at
| the party place). Also keep in mind that the money exchange rates also
| affect this list (at the time of the writing of this text file one US
| dollar was 5.1 Finnish marks).
|
| All damages to the Fair centre, other surroundings and other damages
| caused by party visitors will be REDUCED from the prizes before any
| prizes are paid. This is because of previous trouble with people breaking
| up places, furniture and spraying the walls and thus causing damage of
| many thousand dollars.
|
| All prizes will be paid at the party place.
|
| We will try to give cash prizes in the PC and Amiga demo competitions.
| The prizes in the other competitions may be more or less various hardware
| and software. All the cash prizes will be paid in Finnish currency.
