If you're an aspiring game designer or developer living in the UK with adequate experience using Microsoft's XNA software, now is the chance to prove yourself while winning some prizes along the way. XNA UKUG, a wide group of coders, artists and game designers, is holding the "XNA UK User Group Competition" for those who can get their way around Microsoft's homebrew suite.

Contestants can compete for GB£ 5,000 (US$ 9,903.44) in different categories:
  • Artwork: Create concept art with accompanying scene-setting document that gives info about your artwork.
  • Soundtrack: Compose either a 3-minute title screen music, or three 1-minute music pieces indicating different moods. Other sub-category requires you to create game sound effects and a 20-second clip incorporating them all.
  • Gameplay: This is the real deal. Create a playable game using materials from the other categories in only two days. Team up with up to four people or enter as an individual.
Deadline for everything except the gameplay category is June 12, while the coding contest for said category will be held on June 15-17. For more details, check the XNA UK site on the Read link below.
