==========================================================

The Game Competition is organized in conjunction with the ACE 2013 conference:

The ACE2013 Game Competition is an international challenge. It emphasizes the computation aspects of game development, but is not limited to programming. Teams and individuals can submit software products, covering the whole game development process. We invite you to send in projects witch cool technologies, amazing graphics, mindboggling mechanics or page turning stories.

After a careful evaluation carried out by the Program Committee, several finalist teams will be selected who may present and demonstrate their projects during ACE 2013 in Enschede.

==== THE CONFERENCE THEME ====

The theme of ACE 2013 is "Making New Knowledge". We especially welcome novel showcases and interactive art that relate to this year's conference theme, inspired by John Seely Brown's lecture on "tinkering as a mode of knowledge construction", by the fact that making games and toys is often even more fun than playing with them, and by the very hands-on creative approach with which ACE participants have always explored the boundaries of creative technology.

==== Submission rules ====

Anyone can submit to the Game Competition. To present their work at ACE, finalists must complete at least one conference registration before the 26th of september. They can then present and demonstrate their projects during the ACE 2013 conference. Award winners will be selected during the conference by conference participants and a professional jury.

==== THE CONFERENCE ====

ACE has become the leading scientific forum for dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area of entertainment computing. Interactive entertainment is one of the most vibrant areas of interest in modern society and is amongst the fastest growing industries in the world. ACE 2013 will bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present their innovative work and discuss all aspects and challenges of interactive entertainment technology, in an exciting, cultural, and stimulating environment.

ACE is by nature a multi-disciplinary conference, therefore attracting people across a wide spectrum of interests and disciplines including computer science, design, arts, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and marketing. The main goal of ACE is to stimulate discussion in the development of new and compelling entertainment computing and interactive art concepts and applications. All ACE participants are encouraged to present work they believe will shape the future, going beyond the established paradigms, and focusing on all areas related to interactive entertainment.
