Other contests?

Which other game-developing contests do you guys know? I've been thinking about running on the next Ludum Dare, but I don't know when the next contest is starting (this information is apparently unavailable right now).

I'd love to know about information on other contests.

Here are the ones I know of:

72hrgdc - not sure when the next one is, but the message board has one of the worst spam problems I've ever seen on a message board.

ifcomp - You see a house with white siding. Inside you know that you will compete in a wonderful contest in which you can start developing a text adventure whenever you want, as long as you finish by the deadline. Prizes and glory await. If you want to enter, type 'enter'.

remakes.org - they run a contest about once a year for remaking an old game

gamedev 4e - they run a '4 elements' contest in the summer where they come up with 4 seperate elements that each game must include. Such as Zombie Ninja Pirate Robots.

autofire - if you want to make a shmup. Looks like this already happened this year so...

I just bumped into the MinorHack contest. Next one is starting in ~26 hours.

Retro Remakes is no longer doing contests, according to the site.

gamedev 4e sounds pretty cool

It is pretty nice, with good prizes too, although it's a lot more serious than this one, and for me less fun. You have so much time to work on it, that every time I try to compete, I keep putting it off until I forget that I was even trying to compete. I'm no good with long deadlines.

i usually stay informed via povrazor's gamecompo mailinglist (site currently broken :/ ).

Apparently the next Ludum Dare is April 28th, less than two weeks from now. Get your editors ready! (this information is from the #ludumdare channel on Afternet)

Great. :) So how do I enter it? The site still seems to be outdated.

Also, how do people in IP ranges banned from Afternet deal with it?

We have one - we will be running the first weekend in May. It's emphasis is on reuse of code. Some small simple challenge will go out. (examples - but not what it will be - click on something, or make something disapear when it it typed) You have two hours to put together an executable - code resuse expected - and an explanation of what you reused expected (and the more reusable code the better we rank it) Cash prizes. http://www.twobrotherssoftware.com/2hour07/
