2Bee Games, owned by Zoo Games Inc, have announced that submissions for their second Indie Game Competition are now open. Prizes this time around include $10,000 for the winning title + a possible publishing deal, and $5,000 for the 'Community Favourite'.

It's pretty much the same as last time around, with submissions running from now until September 15th, finalists being announced in October, then knockout stages to find the eventual winner on November 3rd.

Those who recall the first contest may remember the hoo-hah involving the rules which put many people off - however they still had a good number of entries, with the wonderful Auditorium taking the top prize.

So have they fixed the rules this time around?

Well, the rules were okay last time around but were'nt really clear enough.
Adam and Tony cleared it up last time in the comments, so

1) There's a possible publishing deal if you win as well as the money prize, but you don't have to accept the publishing deal. You can say no.

2) Regarding the rule 5 issue, that was just about using your screenshots and talking about the game at press releases.

Therefore, there's really no issue with the rules anyway.

That's two indie competitions I will be entering I guess. I'm going to be busy...
