This is just a reminder that the Second Annual Dream On Contest ends in less than a month. You have until 11:59PM PST on November 10, 2005 to get your entries in.
This year, the contest is broken up into three categories:
1) Professional Game Creation - This is the category that was the sole contest last year. Create a polished game for the Dreamcast (multiple levels of play, title screen, music, high scores, etc.) to be released commercially.
2) Amateur Game Creation - This category is to appease the entrants who didn't meet the criteria for last year's competition. The entries in this category don't have to be commercial quality, but they do have to be programmed in C, C++, or SH4 Assembly (SDL or another games library is fine).
3) Emulator Creation - Create or port (with the author's explicit permission that this be allowed to enter into the contest) an emulator for any system for the Dreamcast.
4) Anything Goes - This is the fun category. Create anything that isn't included in the categories above (BOR Mods, Games Created in Fenix, Doom/Quake mods, emulators, ports of existing software (with author's explicit permission that this be allowed to be entered into the contest), Applications, Multimedia Software, and anything that you can imagine that we hadn't covered in the above.

Contest 1:
1st place (and possibly 2nd and 3rd depending on quality)
