Happy Holidays With TICALCS! - Vlad - 12-17-2006 08:48 PM
TICALCS.net is now announcing the Holiday Programming Contest.
The purpose of this contest is to provide an interesting thing to do during the holiday season. As you will see, it is not meant as a lengthy contest.
The contest will be open to all calculator platforms, as well as in all calculator programming languages. All programs/projects must be unannounced in order to qualify. Once again, it should be quick and brief. The following are the rules:
* The contest will begin right now.
* The contest will end on 12:00 AM, January 15, 2006, Greenwich Standard Time (GST).
* The contest will be open to all people, regardless of their forum membership.
* We will begin taking submissions on 12:00 AM, January 1, GST. More details about the submission process will be posted later.
* The focus of this competition will be casual programs and casual gaming.
* The judging of this competition will have two phases. In the first phase, a public vote, open to guests and members alike for one week (7 days) will narrow the competition down to three candidates. Then, the TICALCS staff members will review the programs. The final winner will be selected by a combination of the public vote and the reviews.
* All who have announced their programs before the start of the competition will be disqualified.
* TICALCS staff members will have the right to disqualify any programs that appear to be in violation of decency, copyright, or other rules if there exits a 2/3 majority among the staff. Remember, the programs in this competition must be of such a decency that they would be allowed to enter the ticalc.org archives.
The prize for this contest will be recognition and a special commemorative graphic/image.
Please note that if you will submit your program to this competition, it would be a good idea to email me at the following email address: admin@ticalcs.net so that we can have an idea of the number of entries expected. Mention the words "Holiday Contest" in the subject.
Remember, anyone and everyone is encouraged to submit, because anyone can win.
