--- 2. COMMON RULES FOR ALL COMPOS -----------------------------

 - Minimal number of works in music compos - 20.
 - Minimal number of works in graphics compos - 10.
- You must fill out the registration forms for all submissions.
- Only one individual and one  collective work are accepted from

--- 3. SEND YOUR WORKS HERE ------------------------------------

E-Mail: [email protected]

You will get the confirmation after  the organizers receive your
work.  If you  don't receive it  during the week  after sending,
please, send it again.

All questions about the contest  and organization can be sent to
this email too.

--- 4. VOTING --------------------------------------------------

After the deadline, a compilation  of works will be released for
voting purposes. The compilation will be presented in two forms:
the special  player and  viewer for ZX Spectrum and  in a format
that can be  viewed and played on  PC and other platforms.  Only
titles  and   numbers  of  works   will  be  published   in  the
compilation. The numbers will be given in random order.

The voting  period from the  moment of compilation  release is 2
months. If there will be less than 30 votelists received after 2
months then we continue to  accept votelists until the necessary
number is not gathered.

When voting,  you give every  work a mark. The lowest mark for a
work is 0, the highest is 9.

After  the  voting and  result  counting is  finished, the final
compilation of works with authors' names will be released.

The period of results counting - 2 weeks.

--- 5. MUSIC COMPOS --------------------------------------------

Compos: Mainstream, Progressive, Cover.

Common rules for music compos:

- There are no limits on the play  time but the work must not be
 looped.
- Works  must  be   compiled  on   address   #C000(49152).  This
 requirement is a  must because nowadays  there are a number of
 different  versions of  PT3.x,  most with  different frequency
 tables.  It's  recommended  to  mention  player  entry points,
 especially if you use some uncommon music editor.
- A single work can take part in only one compo.

Rules for Mainstream music compo:

- The  work  for  the  compo must  be done  in one  of so-called
 mainstream genres (e.g. pop, funk, easy listening etc.).

Rules for Progressive music compo:

- The  work for  the compo  must  be  done in  one of  so-called
 progressive  genres (e.g.  trance, idm,  techno,  experimental
 music etc.).

Rules for Cover music compo:

- The work  for the compo  must be the  cover/remix on any music
 you like.
- The original  author and  title  should  be mentioned  in  the
 registration form.
- Megamixes,  i.e.  mixes  based  on several  compositions,  are
 accepted  and you  should  mention  all  original  authors and
 titles in the registration form.

--- 6. GRAPHICS COMPOS -----------------------------------------

Compos: Traditional, Alternative.

Common rules for graphics compos:

- Author's name  must not be shown in any  form (even hidden) on
 the work. If you want, you may  send 2 versions: with the name
 and without it. The version with  the name will be included in
 the final compilation.
- You  may  use  in  your  work   converted  images  from  other
 platforms, but the fully converted  works (or with the minimal
 changes) will be disqualified.
- You may (but not must)  include 2 in-production stages of your
 work.
- The work can  be presented  in any  format,  i.e. you  can use
 standard   or   non-standard    viewing   modes   (gigascreen,
 multicolor,  3color or anything else). Works with non-standard
 image  size  (larger  than  the   standard  screen)  are  also
 accepted.  You  must,   however,  include  a   viewer  with  a
 non-standard  picture   and,  if  possible,   the  picture  in
 png/gif/pcx  or   any  other   non-ZX  format   with  lossless
 compression.  Organizers don't take  any responsibility if the
 viewer will not work on all clones of ZX Spectrum.
- A single work can take part in only one compo.

Rules for Traditional graphics compo:

- The work for  the compo must be  done in the traditional style
 (e.g. realism),  traditional  technique,  on  the  traditional
 themes and plots (faces, figures, fantasy etc.).

Rules for Alternative graphics compo:

- The work for the compo must  be non-traditional (experimental)
 in any aspect: style, technique, theme.
