We are very proud to sponsor the Stanford University’s 2011 Hackathon, a three week long Flash Game Competition in conjunction with their upcoming philanthropic coding marathon. Anyone can enter so check out the details below and post any questions you may have.
DEADLINE: February 13th at Noon PST
THEME: ‘BENEVOLENCE’
As Wikipedia states, Benevolence is the act of, or a general inclination towards, charity. However you interpret the theme is up to you. Possible ideas include but are not limited to:
The game could be about charitable acts in general.
- It could be about a particular charity.
- It could draw awareness to a certain cause.
- It could educate on an issue.
- The game could be unrelated to charity but then donate its proceeds to a charity.
- It could take the word Benevolence and twist it in any manner that deems fun an appropriate.
Among other prices from Adobe and Mochi Media, GameBuilder Studio and PushButtons Lab, Powerflasher will support the:
PEOPLE’S CHOICE:
FDT 4 Max donated by Bruno Fonzi of FDT ($699 value). The voting for People’s Choice will occur shortly after the deadline.
ALL PARTICIPANTS:
FDT 4 Pure donated by Bruno Fonzi of FDT ($129 value).
RULES:
MochiAds needs to be enabled to ensure that we can find your game in the database. However, since this is a charitable event, you do not need to use the standard network ad. Instead, feel free to use a ‘Custom Ad’ that coincides with your game’s theme/charity.
Tag Your Game: In order to properly find your game, you must tag it “hackathon2011” without the quotes.
This contest is directly tied to Stanford University’s Hackathon, which is a software development branch of Dance Marathon. Their 24hr Hackathon will start on February 12th and finish on noon of the 13th in conjunction with this contest. All entries to this competition will be considered part of Hackathon and thus gain the recognition and promotion from the Hackathon organization. You will retain all rights to your code and final creations.
