IGF Mod Competition Deadline Reminder Issued

The organizers of the 2006 Independent Games Festival are reminding possible entrants that the final entry deadline for the first-ever IGF Mod Competition is on November 1 at 11.59pm PST, for mod creators wanting to enter their best mods created in Half-Life 2, Doom 3, NeverWinter Nights, and Unreal Tournament 2004. The prize pool for the competition is $2,500 for the 'Best Mod' winner in each of the four game categories, meaning a total of $10,000 in cash for Mod Competition winners in the first ever iteration of this new contest, which has already received some notable entries at the reduced entry price of $25. The main 2006 IGF Competition has already seen a record number of entries vying for attention, kudos, and the $20,000 Seumas McNally Grand Prize, and a similarly impressive turn-out is expected for the 2006 IGF Mod Competition, especially now that a reduced barrier to entry has been set up.
