BIG Festival (15,000 USD Grand Prize) Thread

Greetings everyone,

I'm here to tell you about BIG Festival's indie game competition.
We're hosting the first independent games festival in Brazil and offering tons of prizes!

To submit your game, all you have to do is create an account on our website and fill your game's submission
form! This process is completely free and should take no longer than 5-10 minutes.

Feel free to read our Rules - the competition is pretty much open to any indie game developed within the
last two years, the biggest limitation being that your game MUST be content-complete to compete.

The competition is open to games developed for any electronic platform and from anywhere in the world.
We've recently pushed our submission deadline back to September 16 and I've taken it personally to make
sure that we have tons and tons of awesome indie games competing!

Our main prize consists of 15,000 USD for the best game, but we're also offering many more, smaller prizes:

• Best Game (Trophy and approx. 15,000 USD)
• Best Art (Trophy and approx. 1,000 USD)
• Best Sound(Trophy and approx. 1,000 USD)
• Best Narrative(Trophy and approx. 1,000 USD)
• Best Gameplay(Trophy and approx. 1,000 USD)
• Brazilian Breakthrough*(Trophy and approx. 3,500 USD)
• Best Online Game, available on the BIG Site** (Trophy and approx. 2,500 USD)
• Audience Award(Best Game By Popular Vote) (Trophy)
• Best Game On Dev Island*** (Trophy and approx. 3,000 USD) 

*The Brazilian Breakthrough trophy and award are reserved to Brazilian independent developers.
**To compete for Best Online Game, you must allow your game to be made available on BIG's website,
otherwise it will not be possible for the general public to vote for it. Only games that run on a web platform
can compete for this prize.
**Dev Island is a local 24 hour game jam based around making the best games with the fewest resources.
