Flash competitions are like buses. You wait ages for one then three come along at the same time. But hey I’m not complaining and neither should you because three separate competitions simply means three more chances of winning something!
Adobe are really starting to push the Flash platform on mobile and along with its partners is looking for exciting game content that runs on either Adobe AIR for Android or Flash Player 10.1 for mobile. There are generous prizes on offer for each of the contests ranging from cash to software bundles.
Kongregate are offering almost $30,000 in prizes including Adobe CS5: Web Premium for the top 5 entries. Made for Mobile are offering over $20,000 in prize money spread across 105 (yes 105) winners plus Adobe CS5: Master Suite for the best 3 entries. And lastly (but certainly not least) is Cell Your Flash Game’s contest where the top 3 will win Adobe CS5: Master Collection and take a split from a cash pot of $4310. The next 147 (this isn’t a typo either) people will receive $100 each and a few will also receive Adobe Flash Professional CS5.
So what are you waiting for? Get coding and see what you can come up with. Oh and try not to bite off more than you can chew. The submission dates are actually quite tight.
Right all I need now is a great idea! Err,….. Damn! Oh well maybe next time 😉
Good luck!
So, are you actually going to participate in The Experiment now?
it’s having the right idea the problem 🙂 but also the time.
I usually come up with simple ideas and in about 10 minutes they grow, after 20 minutes they involve a server farm and a new 3D library, in about an hour they are used by at least 500 million users and I’m relaxing next to my swimming pool in my multi million house……then I come back to reality, trying to remember that in AS3 if you want to know when an external file is loaded you need to attach a listener to the contentLoaderInfo dispatcher and not the Loader object itself, doh!!!
Btw Chris you have won before so I expect you’ll come up with something 🙂
Dave, have you convinced Stuart to take part yet? I tried but he knows how bad you are at actually finishing what you started 😉

Keeping it small really is the hard part. One of my ‘small’ ideas took me three years to complete 🙂
