Photo Play Competition for Best Games Idea
For the third year the International Photo Play Competition for the Best Games Idea will take place. From September 1 to December 15, 2003 games ideas on the topic "flirting" are being scouted for throughout Europe. "Partner search, flirting and anything to do with relationships are great topics for our games' target group. This is why we have decided to hold the Photo Play Competition for the Best Games Idea with this motto," said Ilse Retzek, Funworld Ag's public relations manager.
The competition is not only a gain for players. Operators profit directly from the public attention received as well as from the accompanying promotion. "The image value of a brand is not to be underestimated. This games contest is nothing else than an image-campaign", said Mr Retzek.
The competition will be announced internationally directly via all linked Photo Play terminals. Registered players will be informed by direct mailings and by newsletter. A targeted e-mail campaign will aim to attract the attention of European high schools and universities. Information will also be broadcast via the Photo Play and KLM homepage.
The competition for the best games idea is valued highly both by Photo Play players and by the public. "Regular enquiries on the starting date by telephone and e-mail have shown that there are a number of people waiting expectantly for the competition," said Mr Retzek. Both Photo Play players and professional games developers have participated during the last two competitions.
The jury's preconditions are clearly defined. It must be possible to convert the game electronically, it must be easy to understand and it should be possible to play the game in three to five minutes. The game must be in accordance with the positive games concept and may not include an violent or pornographic elements.
Great prizes are awaiting the best, wittiest and most original games ideas. American Express and the Dutch airline, KLM, have sponsored two weekend flights from a European capital to a European destination of one's choice as main prize. The winner of the second prize will be invited to attend the Photo Play World Games, the top players' event that will again be held in an Austrian winter sports resort at the beginning of 2004. The third prize is a valuable Photo Play chronograph of the limited edition.
