Hello fellow text fans,
The 2016 Annual Interactive Fiction Competition is now open for entry. All this year’s hopefuls must have their intents to enter submitted by September 1, with September 28 as the final deadline for the entries themselves. Here, as always, is the full competition schedule.
To enter the IFComp, visit the competition website, log in (creating a free account if you don’t already have one), and then visit your entry-management page.
The only significant rules change this year is our experimental relaxing of the “hush rule”, which in years past has forbidden entrants from publicly discussing entries during the six-week judging period. See that blog post for more details on the rule change. Please do read the revised rule if you intend to enter the competition this year.
We intend to make (and note on this blog) a few more small tweaks to the rules-wording and the entry process, all little improvements and based on past critique, but no further changes as major as that this year. And there is also the news from a couple of days ago about IFComp’s new relationship with the Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation, but this doesn’t directly affect the way the comp runs.
It’s also time for us to start rattling the cup for IFComp prize-pool donations! Pretty much anything can be a prize – cash, books, food, professional services, and more. We encourage fun and creativity here. To donate a prize, simply email the organizers with your prize proposal. If we accept the prize (and we probably will), then we’ll connect you with the author claiming the prize after the competition ends.
