I often check JayIsGames for their daily casual game updates. One of JIGs usual events is their annual design competition. Amateur or professional game designers can submit their games for glory and awards. The winner this year is David Shute with Small Worlds. This game won for its interpretation of the "Explore" theme. Give it a try. It's not very hard and you can play with W,A,S,D controls or your arrow keys (you can use up-arrow, "A" or space to jump). Don't be dissuaded by the graphics. It is a great game!
You can play the games by the other contestants on this site as well.
If you've ever looked at my blogroll, you'll know that I am following Icantbelieveable. Well, on her blog, she explained that she is trying to win a trip through a volunteer organization called i-to-i. She needs at least 100 votes to make it happen. Please read her entry and vote for her under the Campfire section. In order to vote, you have to sign up for a free account. It's fast and easy and only requires a working email address. For more about the contest and Icantbelievable, visit her blog. She has until October 31, so that's 10 days!
Remember when NewfoundJoye first debuted? Yeah, it's been a little while. Anyway, I posted about the Name A Kodak contest. For the first time ever, I actually won something! Unfortunately, I didn't win the naming contest, but I was fortunate enough to win one of the 100 Kodak Zi8 cameras that was offered for submitting a name. So look forward to my very own videos as I put this camera to work. You'll find all of my uploads here at NewfoundJoye or on my YouTube channel.
BIG news! If you can think of a name for the new Kodak Zi8 camera, you could win a trip to Las Vegas and the new Kodak Zi8 camera! Don't be discouraged if your name isn't chosen. You could be randomly selected and win one as well. Of course, it won't be a Zi8 anymore then! You can tweet it by using the #NameAKodak hashtag or comment on their blog.
Good luck and know that you have at least 1000 other competitors (including me).
