Hey, Ian,
Exciting stuff, thanks to you and Jeff! I have a couple questions, and possibly more of them later:
(1) Can we have more than one entry?
(2) What's the process for submission?

In our local shows here you can enter multiple categories and entries.
As the competition is themed about things we want to see / hear and we all want to see more, I see no reason to restrict productivity.
I will put together a submission form and find a good way to submit the entries in the coming weeks.
Thanks.

Once the game is submitted, can it also be released digitally on itch.io at the same time, and perhaps find a publisher for a physical release that way?
Re: COMPETITION: Things we want to see / hear - 2021 Vic20 Development Competition - Launch
Yes, of course, you are the creator.
This competition is to stimulate some extra Vic20 creation in 2021 for as many Vic20 users as possible.

Hi Folks,
please post in here if you are planning to enter, I would like to gauge the interest level
If there is not a lot of interest I will consider delaying the competition.
Those planning to enter with a 2021 development will be still be able to enter if there is a delay.
Thank you.

I'm a bit embarrassed given the level of quality I see in this forum but, if there is competition, I'm more than happy to participate with Space Invaders.
Cheers

I planned to enter with Dungeon of Dance (game, physical tape release), ZEPTOPOLIS (game, physical cartridge release), and the VICLab MIDI Interface (open-source hardware peripheral, in progress).
I'll probably have more entries if there's more time
Re: COMPETITION: Things we want to see / hear - 2021 Vic20 Development Competition - Launch
This is best Vic20 Space Invaders by far - great to hear you will enter. Thank you.

If the interest is in a competition for all of 2021, then maybe push it out to January or February. Then, if it becomes annual, your rule could be that it's for products produced in the previous calendar year.
If you're concerned about lack of entries, keep in mind that you never introduced a formal entry mechanism. That would probably help at least a bit.
