Peach, this is fantastic and thanks for putting it together.
To the winner I will give a free year subscription to Corona SDK, and if you own Corona, I will add another year to our subscription.
You have 48 hours

Haha, like your “phone”, Carlos. Depending on stuff, I may or may not do it. [import]uid: 8782 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16488[/import]
Carlos is on another caffeine kick! Revealing more “top secret” info again… could it be… is THAT the next platform Corona is going to support?? lol
Anyway…
Seriously, people join the contest so we can get this thing started [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16489[/import]
Oh wow how fun! Good one Peach!! aka Scar Twin, tehehe.
I cant wait!!! [import]uid: 12373 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16493[/import]
Hey guys, I just woke up - what a great response!
@Carlos, that is INCREDIBLY generous, I thank you 
I’m sure many would see that as a great reason to enter.
@Scar Twin, I’m sure your game will looks fantastic ^-^;
Off to wake up a bit more, have a lot of work to do today.
At this stage I still have to work out all the details but I’m thinking as interest seems good we’ll have to find a weekend that suits.
I was thinking perhaps the first one in February if that works; we’ll also need to work out judges - this can wait until I’m more awake, haha.

@peachpellen Just posted on your blog, not sure if the comment is actually visible yet though. I would be very much up for helping judge if you require anyone as although I would love to get involved with the actual competition I don’t think I will find the time 
Will offer a copy of of Lime to the winner (when it’s finished, natch) if you/they are interested. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16500[/import]
I’m sure we’d be happy to donate some sort of prize, just need to think of something though… [import]uid: 13089 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16503[/import]
Graham, I’ve approved your comment - I think it future it should be automatic for you, hopefully Sorry about that.
Lime would be awesome, I know a lot of people are interested in it, and as I am hoping to have a total of four judges I’d be happy if you were able to take part; I think you’d make a great judge (There will likely be 4 of us, including myself, Carlos and you - plus one other. I think. I am still waking up;))
udesignme - if you some up with something that would be awesome, still a little yet to think on it, I’ve got work to do before looking at details [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16510[/import]
Hehe, no worry about having to approve the comment. The fight against spam is an eternal and bloody battle.
I will gladly give away some copies of Lime (however it sort of pales in comparison to Carlos’ prize ) and would love to help out with judging. I have some experience with games competitions, albeit from the other side of the judging panel, with the Dare To Be Digital competition in the UK.
Waking up? It’s 8am here and I’m going to be going to bed soon Timezones will never beat me. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16513[/import]
I’m also happy to help out with judging, I’ve got the relevant experience :). But hmm, I do need to think of an awesome prize…
Graham, haven’t slept either; got a full day ahead of me as well! Meeting with someone who might be creating the music for the RPG at 10am, then got to go to the bank and fill out mountains of paperwork. [import]uid: 13089 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16514[/import]
Paperwork schmaperwork, just stick with my business strategy. Don’t earn any money. Banking work suddenly becomes so much simpler
As far as a prize goes, maybe the chance to make some art for Arcana
Edit -
P.S. If anyone is interested about Dare to be Digital and what I did it in, I was part of this team in 2008. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16516[/import]
Haha, what a great prize. “Win and I’ll let you make me stuff.”
If only life was that simple. 
How did you place in DtbD? [import]uid: 13089 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16518[/import]
Hehe, would be nice wouldn’t it
We were one of the three winning teams and then went on to collect the BAFTA. So I’d say fairly well However saying that, the games in the year since were so much better I’m scared to see what they come up with this time. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16522[/import]
Posting here for those that don’t follow the blog. We’ll offer up an iTunes gift card, some cold hard cash and the chance (if an artist) to see your work in an upcoming console title (Q4 2011). [import]uid: 13089 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16524[/import]
