The "Game Heat" Contest supported by GAMER.ru and Kingston
Friends, greetings! October is on the horizon, it's getting colder, and we've decided to heat up your interest in games and creativity with a new "hot" contest.
It's no secret that computer games have plenty of moments: sharp, thrilling, pivotal. There’s also a lot of heat in them. Surely you’ve sweat trying to save your hopeless protagonist from the depths of hell (in every sense). Or maybe it was that sultry succubus with big ears that gave you a heated moment. Or perhaps it was simply in Africa, and the ice generator broke down on the camel.
We invite you to remember and capture on Gamer.ru the hottest gaming moment, by writing a short story about it.
WORK REQUIREMENTS
Hot beauty in a hot shootout. Kill two birds with one stone. And a gang of other raiders!
• Your work must be written specifically for this contest. Choose a game, recall a moment that can be called hot, and write about it. The character limit is 4000 characters without spaces.
• In the post title, write: Gaming Heat: ***. Supported by GAMER.ru and Kingston. Instead of asterisks - the name of the game. In tags, specify: gaming heat.
• One author may submit multiple works. Rewrites and replacements are not allowed. A rewrite is considered to be rephrasing the text, altering its essence. Moderate corrections of mistakes and tags are not considered rewriting. The administration reserves the right to moderate the quality of submissions: weak works will not be allowed for voting.
• The contest duration is until 20:00 Moscow time on October 17, inclusive (3 weeks).
• Contest works must be posted in the blog of the game you are writing about, and in the comments to this topic, you must specify the name of your work with a link. There will be no transfers of works; write directly to the address.
• Posts will be evaluated by jury members:
- svetakru
- Kotovsky
- AQuaRity
- Maria Tanzorova, marketing manager for the Russian representation of Kingston.
• By submitting your work to the contest, you agree to these rules and undertake to comply with them. In case of non-compliance with these rules by the participant, the administration has the right to make any decision at its discretion.
