[ASM scene] ASM 5th - 8th August, >40k€ prizes, seminars, more

[Jussi Laakkonen]

Hi,

   it's been pretty quiet on the list, so let's kick it up a notch.

   I'm proud to announce that we are organizing the 19th ASSEMBLY this 
August, from 5th to 8th of August at Hartwall Areena, in Helsinki, 
Finland. I feel proud because even after all this years we continue to 
organize a great party where demos take the center stage.

   We continue to put our money where our mouth is. The total prize pool 
for all competitions at ASSEMBLY Summer 2010 exceeds €40 000. All 
winners will receive 100% cash prizes, e.g., the demo compo winner will 
go home with €7000 and participate also in the Live2011 finals for a 
shot of another €20 000.

   Big prizes doesn't equal a good party. That's why we continue to 
throw a lot of effort into smooth organizing, cool program with concerts 
and parties and standout seminars.

   Speaking of which, we are looking for speakers to the ARTtech 
seminars. We've already confirmed several very interesting speakers and 
want you to join them. Email me if you are interested!

   Compo rules have not yet been finalized. However, there won't huge 
changes from last year so you can work on your production based on last 
year's rules available here:

   We'll finalize rules during May. If you have suggestions, please 
shoot them over to compos2010 at assembly.org

   Oldskool tickets will be offered at 50% discount like in previous 
years. Ticket sales starts on 16th of May.

   This is going to be a kick ass year and I know that several top teams 
are working on their compo entries. Join them and come to ASM for the 
best party of the summer 2010!

   CU at ASM!
