"BigPond® Games has joined forces with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) to give you the opportunity of a lifetime to turn your game idea into reality.
If you have a good idea for a game, whether it's a simple, catchy puzzle or a strategic epic - tell us about it! If our expert panel judges it the best, you could see your vision realised as a hot new game.
Enter today! Entries close 22 August, 2007."
"Mercado is our sort-of bimonthly artist market. The first couple were a total hoot and the next one happens on Saturday the 23rd of June.
It's part of Northern Exposure this time around, so there's a few other markets on in the neighbourhood at the same time. There'll be some music later on too."
Never been to this thing before... might check it out on the weekend.
Anyway the next market will be happening on Saturday afternoon (I think it runs from 2-6pm)
Where: 275 High St, Northcote
When: This Saturday! (23 June)

This is part 1 of a series of free short talks brought to you by the Melbourne International Animation Festival.
Chris Pahlow and Steph Brotchie are members of ‘D.I.Y. ART’ a small artistic collective. Together they have produced a series of independent films without any funding or practical technical support including “Fraught” which is playing in competition. Using examples from their earlier films, they will address the ways in which the absence of budget and/or industry experience forces independent filmmakers to develop new ways of story-telling and invent new economic animation and filmic techniques to convey their ideas.
Head over to ACMI... you’ll find the Festival Club at the bottom of the escalators just inside the Flinders St entrance.
FREE!!
