News from Dovoto of a new Coding Competition for the DS, heres the details:

Theme
Create a Nintendo DS or GBA game with a holiday theme. Be it Wack-a-Santa or nuclear snowball fights with diminutive elves we want to see your wintery creations.

Contact

Any questions or suggestions mail to Dovoto
Submit your games at any point to Dovoto Please specify if you need your game reviewed before the compo deadline for any reason.

Rules

Original content (Satire will be considered fair use).
All entries must run on hardware, the hardware being one of:
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Gameboy Advance
Multiple entries are encouraged but only one prize will be awarded to any individual / group.
You are of course welcome to work in teams and split your prize how you see fit.
No emulators, media players, or straight ports of old games please (e.g. porting quake to DS will not get you many points but porting quake, designing your own winter level and letting me walk around as Santa Claus and blast reindeer would be cool).
Judging will be at the biased discretion of the participating judges but originality and entertainment will be the main focus (and technical splendor of course). Make me laugh and I will forgive your coder "art".
Submissions can be made at anytime and should be mailed to dovoto@drunkencoders.com.
