Eurographics, the largest computer graphics conference in Europe, and the 2nd largest worldwide - with thousands of attendees from all over the world, from academia and the computer graphics and game industry - for the first time this year, is holding the Graphics Meets Games Competition. They want to see a cool new graphics effect, that could be used in a computer game, and the creation of a small, self-contained real-time 3D demo game that showcases that effect. If the player can interact with the effect or it interacts with the environment (i.e it is more than eye candy), maybe in some kind of physically based way (think for instance low-gravity, or magical physics, zero-friction liquids, balls that multiply on collision etc.), then it is even better. Deadline is 28 August. For more details (and there are plenty), visit the site.
