Intel Launches 2009 Level Up Game Dev Competition

Intel has launched Level Up 2009, its Visual Adrenaline Game Demo Challenge inviting professional, aspiring, and student game developers around the world to create demos with its products and compete for Best Threaded Game, Best Game-on-the-Go, and Best Game Optimized for Intel Graphics. Intel will give away prizes, including computers, cash, and GDC passes, to the winners in three categories -- Best Threaded Game, Best Game-on-the-Go, and Best Game Optimized for Intel Graphics. Contest registration will be open until July 1st, and participants must submit any detailed abstracts, screenshots, and movies of their game demos before that deadline. Judges will then pick the top ten scoring entries in each of the three categories based on game play, originality, and execution, before asking finalists to submit their game demo executable program as well as an article on their work by August 10th. The winners will be announced at the 2009 Austin Game Developers Conference, held this September in Texas. You can visit the official Level Up 2009 site for more details on registration, prizes, game requirements, and more.
