The Slamdance Festival's independent game competition The Big C has announced the winners of the 2005 Awards as part of the larger film festival, itself an alternative to the Sundance Festival going on at the same time in Park City, Utah. In the first year of the competition, the jury award went to Revolved by Alter Ego Games from Sammamish, Washington. Judges for this section of the awards included representatives from publishers NCSoft and Activision Value Publishing, as well as popular web comic Penny Arcade. The audience award was presented to Digipen-created student title Scavenger Hunt, by Jackson Dunstan, Jonathon Bryant, Kevin Neece, Doug DaSilva, Eric Smith, Jemal Armstrong, Lolin Turner, Shane McIntire, and Ryan Hammond from Redmond, Washington.
