Here's some information I thought you'd like to hear from this year's SF GDC:
A new company called "2-Bee Games" is hosting an Indie game competition with a $10K grand prize with the cance for your game to be ported over to a console! There's only one month left to make a submission, but it only has to be one demo level with a file limit of 250mb.

Here's something else that might be interesting; Adobe has revived it's Director program, with more video and now 3D support.

Just a side bonus: At our school's portfolio show, a Level Designer grad is offering a single level horiziontal shmup for free on his portfolio website. Details and links to the game are on his demo reel page

Hope that was useful!

This should really go in Development.

Also Indie game competitions are just excuses to slap together the prettiest-looking pile of crap and completely ignore gameplay. Me, bitter? Nah.

Also also I lol'd at that guy's 1 level demo. I think even shitshmup would be more entertaining. And I made that in 2 hours.

Sounds like someone has entered these kinds of competitions before...

I'm sure you're right about what goes into one of these 'demos' though.
