> (http://handicap2012.cnam.fr)
>
> A call for participation was made at the end of 2011.
> Finally, 16 teams reached the deadline (May, 17th) with a prototype.
> A jury rated the games and voted for the 5 best ones on Thursday, 24th
> of this month.
> The first of them wins the Jury's Prize. It's a game called "Evil Blind
> Mutant Monster Attack"
> Here are the results:http://handicap2012.cnam.fr/?page=concours  (in
> French...). The winning game is available for free download.

> These 5 finalists are still fighting for the "Public's Prize"
> They will be available for the public on 3 sites near Paris during June.
> You can find all the informations about this on the previous page (still
> in French...sorry)
> If you are near or in Paris, France please come and visit us !
>
> This was ( is ) the first attempt for this contest.
> I want to make it happen every year from now.
