Buckle your seat belts, strap on your thinking caps, warm up your coding fingers and oil your artist elbows. The 2008 Unity Awards is open and accepting entries. Building on the phenomenal success of last year’s Top DOG competition, the inaugural year for the Unity Awards is bigger, badder and better than ever.

Enter Today
Contest entry is now open! You can find more information about the contest, including requirements, deadlines and entry instructions by visiting the 2008 Unity Awards page (http://unity3d.com/contest/). Last year’s Top DOG finalists had their games published on Shockwave.com, what will happen to this year’s winners?
We cannot wait to see what you folks come up with this year!
Note: make sure to read the other announcement thread, Unite 2008, as the two events are closely related!
You can submit a game that’s already in development or something that you start anew right now. And point taken about the important dates bit, I’ll see about updating the page.
Hmph, those should have been in there from the get go. Being as they’re now missing you can count on them getting added to the page. Thanks for the heads up.
I’d like to add a couple of questions:
Can the entry be released to the public during the contest time period?
Can we enter with more than one entry?
Thanks
We reserve the right to add more prizes later on, specifically for the other two categories to start (those without explicitly listed cash prizes) so stay tuned.
No, you don’t have to share out the Project folder for your entry to the public, just the finished game.
If you drop out of the contest before the deadline your Unity license will be revoked for a period of 6 months. This is legally set in place so we can distance ourselves from people who make embarrassing content with our product.
That’s a relief…I heard a rumor that the UT crew would pay you a visit, and chain you to your computer, and then beat you about the head and shoulders, until you finished your game. :shock:
