The following (below the line) is a copy of the Vortex Game Competition promotion sheet. The Competition has been revamped and is now accepting a considerably larger number of applicants than before. Essentially, the Competition is now open to any Canadian with an idea for a game. Whether you're part of a team or are going it alone, as long as you've properly completed the application process, you're eligible. Check out the details below, and make sure to look over the rules and regulations at the Vortex Competition website.
The
Vortex 2007 Game Competition is calling on budding Canadian
entrepreneurs to submit their game concepts to win the opportunity of
a lifetime.
Unlike other game competitions, Vortex 2007 is not just about producing a game – it’s focused on helping video game creators build their business skills by giving participants step-by-step workshops about how to create, finance, pitch, market and sell their idea to help them kick start their ideas and turn conception into commercialization.
Creators are invited to submit a one-page high concept treatment, and a one page CV/bio, along with their online submission form at www.vortexcompetition.org , by May 31, 2007. On July 19th the four platform winners will pitch again to a specially empanelled jury who will select the overall winner who will be awarded the Grand Prize of $2,500. Each of the finalists will receive an Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system courtesy of Microsoft Canada.
Visit www.vortexcompetition.org for further information on the program schedule, the venue, the coaching sessions, competition details, entry and registration. All sessions will take place at International Academy of Design & Technology in Toronto.
