You can download an archive with the rules for work
in various competitions, for subsequent printing. The archive
is packed in ZIP and contains texts for 4 encodings.
Authors who are going to exhibit their works at the
festival must register. An ftp server is open for accepting works, where they will be tested and selected. It is also
possible to send works by email and regular mail (see information
at the end of the section).
Registration will be completed a week before the start of the festival,
i.e. on the evening of August 12. As an exception, it is possible to accept work
directly on the day of the equipment run, August 17 at the festival site, but only if you have a really compelling
reason and worthwhile work. However, do not rely on this
day, as the likelihood of your work being accepted on this day is extremely
low.
All authors are asked to communicate in advance how much
of work they plan to submit (their duration, inwhat
nomination, what hardware requirements, etc.). This is the only way we
will be able to clearly plan the festival regulations.
The winners of the previous demo party CC000 are provided with
free tickets; if you are one of them, indicate such data in a special field of the registration form. Attention: free
tickets are not cumulative, the maximum number of free
tickets for a group is 3 tickets. A list of relevant persons
is given here.
