  "Participant Ticket".

  Cash prices can only be obtained by being present at the price-ceremony.

  All entries must be previously unreleased.

  Covers, remixes and tributes should be well credited, preferably
  with permission.

  As organizers we reserve ourselves the right to use the entries
  in future, non-commersial promotions of deadline.

  A selected screening jury will examine the entries and can disqualify
  any entry without motivation.

  We reserve ourselves the right to change these rules, but we hope it
  will not be necessary. 

  All C64 entries shall be handed in on separate disks (so we can make one 
  .d64 for each entry), disks will be kept.

  entry in the same compo.

  A console is any hardware (including portable ones (aka handheld))
