Alice Competition Feb 8, 2014-CANCELLED

This competition had been cancelled due to low registrations.

This competition is only for Georgia residents!

The awards for the Alice Competition will be on Saturday February 8th in the Klaus Advanced Computing Building Auditorium in Administrative Building. Students must register at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AliceComp2014 before January 22nd at 4:00pm. After registration closes we will send out instructions to the students who registered about how to upload their projects.

See http://home.cc.gatech.edu/TeaParty/1243 for the winners of the 2013 Alice Competition.

To help make this competition self-sustaining we will ask for volunteers such as teachers, professionals, and undergraduate students to judge the entries. There will be a $25 entry fee for individual entries and a $50 entry fee for group entries. Please make your payment at: https://epay.gatech.edu/C20793_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=211.

The deadline for us to receive submissions will be January 29th at 4:00pm. The entries must be uploaded to http://home.cc.gatech.edu/TeaParty/1252. Alice worlds can either be uploaded to a web site or submitted on a CDROM. CDROMs must be received by January 29th at 4:00pm. Alice worlds can also be uploaded to the website, but be aware that it can be difficult to upload very large Alice worlds. The instructions for uploading will be available after registration closes. If you are mailing in a CD send it to:

GA Tech, College of Computing

There will be one division for middle school students, and one for high school students. Awards will be given for both individual and group projects (up to 3 people per group). Projects will be judged based on creativity, originality, technical merit, and how well they follow good programming practices (comments, breaking tasks or scenes into methods, putting the methods on the right objects, etc). There will be two categories of awards: movies and interactive games. The movies must be at least 15 seconds long and must be less than 2 minutes long. All movies must display some text to show that the movie is over (like "The End"). Interactive games can be submitted as well but a video (in Quicktime or AVI format) showing someone playing the game (just the screen capture we don't actually want to see the person playing the game) must be submitted with the game. The video of the person playing the game must be at least 15 seconds and less than 2 minutes long. You can use CamStudio or Camtasia to create the video. All interactive games must also include instructions (as a word doc or rtf) for playing the game.

We will give awards to at least one entry in each category if there are at least 5 entries in that category. In addition we will also give out the following special awards: Most Creative, Best Comedy, Best Drama, Best Adventure Game, Best use of Sound, Best Original Idea.
