[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] Mobile Content Festival - MCF2006 CALL FOR ENTRIES

Thu Feb 9 11:36:07 EST 2006

Hello,

I've been on this list for a long time and have been working towards helping
this festival happen. My thought was that there might be someone here would
either be interested in applying to it or know someone that would be
interested in applying for it. This festival is looking to find the best of
breed in mobile applications, films and games as its goal is to show the
world the depth and breadth of mobile games, applications, and films. Note
that games and applications that have previously been launched are eligible.
Any content considered "mobile" (except a handheld or laptop PC) is a
candidate. See all the details on the website: www.dcitexas.org/mcf. 

If you have any questions, please email mcf at dcitexas.org. Also, please feel
free to forward this to anyone you may feel has an interest, or to any
website that may publish this press release. This should be a very exciting
competition!

Have a great day!

For Immediate Release, January 25, 2006:

DCI (Digital Convergence Initiative)

Mobile Content Festival - MCF2006 CALL FOR ENTRIES

An experiment in film, gaming and application development for mobile
devices.  Austin, Texas, March 14th, 2006

The DCI is looking to address the current influence of mobile devices on our
culture. Mobile devices have had a tremendous effect on our society and we
are interested in how that new audience might best be communicated to in
this new medium. It is our belief that this new medium offers special
consideration that have yet to be suitably identified; the least of which is
viewing size. Other considerations for this new form are cost per download,
as well ergonomic concerns, etc. 

MCF2006 is looking for mobile content submissions that explore the mobile
lifestyle. The concept is most interested in content made for mobile
devices, not so much made by them, although we certainly encourage you to
push the envelope. Our criteria are extremely broad and we only ask that you
keep word "mobile" in mind. 

Call for entries

MCF2006 is looking for content created specifically for mobile devices,
excluding laptops and tablet PC's. Works in development will be considered
