The feature made it's debut in 2009 and has proven to be a popular part of the SIGGRAPH conference.

To the event, they are seeking cutting-edge examples of real-time graphics and simulations, including real-time art projects and hereunder: demo scene productions. As long as the submission is interactively controlled, rendered in real time, and repeatable for a live audience, it will be considered. Accepted work will be demonstrated live on a PC or game console.

We encourage everyone who are interested to submit their projects, as acceptance into the program can result in good exposure for the demo scene.]]> 408 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 00:00:00 CST http://www.scene.org/discussnews.php?item=407
Scene.org has now opened the voting for the Public Choice category, where you can vote for your favourite demoscene production of the past year. This year, the Scene.org Awards committee has also made some changes to the voting procedure, giving more power to the public.

The voting for Public Choice will be done in two rounds - the first round opened today, where you can choose between all of the publicly nominated productions, or add your own favorite! The first voting round will determine which demos will go on to the second and final round. Voting for final round opens on February the 14th, and the final winner will be selected and presented at the award ceremony taking place at The Gathering in Hamar, Norway on Friday the 22nd of April, 2011. To vote in the Public Choice category, simply go to http://awards.scene.org/, select your favourite demo, and press "Submit vote" at the bottom. A SceneID account is required to verify your vote.]]> 407 Thu, 06 Jan 2011 00:00:00 CST http://www.scene.org/discussnews.php?item=406 The Gathering in Norway.

Scene.org has cooperated with The Gathering for many years, and the move is a logical extension of that relationship, as well as a huge opportunity to reach a whole new audience with the awards and to take them to the next level. The decision to change the location of the ceremony is the result of careful consideration and we couldn't be happier about it.

We're still early in the planning process and we will keep you all informed when more details are available. We have some awesome things planned, and we can't wait to share them with all of you - stay tuned!]]> 406 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.scene.org/discussnews.php?item=405 releases and results are here. ]]> 405 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.scene.org/discussnews.php?item=404 the nominees for the 8th Annual Scene.org Awards!

This category highlights productions that are pushing the limits of a platform, size coding - or simply making the impossible possible.

The prize giving ceremony for the 8th Annual Scene.org Awards takes place on Saturday 3rd of April, 2010 simultaneously at the Breakpoint and The Gathering demoparties. See you there! ]]> 404 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:00:00 CST http://www.scene.org/discussnews.php?item=403 fill in the voting form nominating your favourite demo release (or intro, wild, you name it) from 2009.

There's also bad news: The Scene.org Awards might not take place in 2010.
