Compos:
* Graphics
* Wild
* Natural Media
- Basically an art exhibition compo. Make paintings, poems, clothes or anything you wish and bring it to the exhibition as an entry.
* Lego compo
* Soundtrack compo
- Make a soundtrack or voice acting for one of our selected video clips.
* Dance music compo
* Demo compo
* 64k Intro
* 1k Intro
- 1K(or less) intros are maturing up so we'll now have an exclusive compo for tiny intros. Note that we really do not have a 4K compo so you'll have to cut the 3K of overhead.

1k intro compo, sounds very interesting

Rbraz,

The rules say "no import by ordinal" which is a technique crinkler uses when certain flags are set, but I doubt most people realise this or that they mean to ban certain uses of flags in crinkler. Still best to check...

No 4k only 1k? Wow thats unexpected. Presumably they expect TBC to enter and probably loonies. In which case forget it, the TBC compressor (used for tracie) was 160 bytes better than crinkler last I checked and it could be closer to 200 now. Theres no way to compete. For those who dont know, 200 bytes advantage at 1k is about the equivalent of one team being allowed to use 6k entries for a 4k compo (if you get the comparison). The advantage is insurmountable.

Well, we can try at least!

I agree with Rbraz, no matter what you think I am sure that both of you have the potential to win it, a great cruncher certainly does give it's user an advantage but you have to think and make something that appeals to the party goers instead.

Something breathtakingly original could win it.

Look at winnerdemo by metalvotze (technically not very good, and yes I know it's not a 1kb) but it won breakpoint 2004 because it made a lot of drunken sceners laugh.
