Cash prizes in Scene COMPOS!

Today we can reveal a forecast for RK/LE’17 cash prizes in our Scene Compos. Please note, that payments of prizes are subject to certain accounting rules, which are described at www.retrokomp.org and we are inviting our compo participants to get familiar them. Providing an entry for a compo automatically means that you accept these rules. The amounts blow are given in the official Polish currency (PLN), in order of: #1/#2/#3 (1 EUR is approx. 4.3 PLN)

1. CHIP MUSIC COMPETITION – 250/150/100 (PLN)

2. 8-BIT PIXEL GRAPHICS COMPETITION – 250/150/100 (PLN)

In short – if there are less than 4 (four) entries in the contest, only the first place prize is paid. Collection of prizes is only possible at the venue, upon receipt (refer to the description of contest rules). If you are sending a remote entry, you may ask someone visiting the party to be your representative, but you need to provide a statement with details of such person (including first & last name, some document details) together with the entry. As the scene Orgas, we can’t send or transfer any money to anyone (sponsor’s requirement).

In the RETROKOMP GAME-DEVELOPMENT COMPETITION, only the material prizes are planned, supplied traditionally by irreplaceable Lotharek, Adam Zalepa and other sponsors supporting the event.

We warmly invite you to participate in all competitions, good luck! 🙂

 

(*): Important note: The cash prize sponsor and our host (Scena Muzyczna GAK) also has a kind request (and essentially a condition). During Saturday’s „RetroKomp Open Hours” (Saturday 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM) alcohol consumption will ONLY be allowed in the catering area. During the opening hours we have visits of families with children as well as local or national media (radio, television, portals). SM GAK is a public institution and of course they must take care of their public perception. In the catering area, there will be a food-truck, benches, tables and heaters. There you will be able to buy some alcohol. During the entire party, we kindly ask you to limit the consumption in the main lobby, just for the safety of the exhibits. During previous editions, there were some unsafe incidents around the valuable devices – we had requests from exhibitors to reduce this risk. We are sure you understand the situation well.

Expected entry prices (tickets!)

All tickets will be available directly at the entrance to the event at SM GAK. There are 3 options:

1. 3 day pass (Friday, 9:00 AM – Sunday, 2:00 PM) – 90 PLN
2. Exhibitor* 3 day pass (Friday, 9:00 AM – Sunday, 2:00 PM) – 45 PLN
3. RK Open Hours Visitor (Saturday only, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM) – 5 PLN

(*)
Exhibitor is a person who brings at least 3 stationary retro computers or retro consoles, of which at least one set should include a monitor/TV, be able to run and be available to participants (portable computers/consoles do not count).

Participants will be identified by the appropriate IDs and/or bands.

Maybe some music for you?

While you are busy working on your prods, we have something nice to share with you. If you like SID chiptunes or any retro-gaming-inspired instrumental music for that matter, this might be right up your alley. Phillip Gross has released a new album called ‘Katerstimmung’ with 10 tunes that have a strong connection to video games from the 80’s and 90’s.

Although the tunes are not directly related to specific games, Phillip clearly shows from where he gets his inspiration – “I try to keep the SID-soul” says Phillip when we talked to him via email. You can clearly see he is telling the truth by listening to tracks like Vintage Ocean and Fruity Freedom!

Get your free download at http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Phillip_Gross/Katerstimmung/ and consume the beat, while developing your prod!
