Submit entry

Basic process

The basic process of submitting entries to the competitions held at ASSEMBLY works as outlined below:

1. Buy yourself a ticket
2. Come to the party place
3. Register using PTN
4. Enter information about your entry into PTN and upload your it before the deadline
5. Submit your final update to the entry at least 1 hour before the compo jury starts
6. Participate in the feedback session prior to the compo

You can register and submit your entries to PTN either using your own computer from home or from the PartyNet, or using our public PC terminals located at the Infodesk. The PTN will be up at the designated address a little bit before the party starts.

When you register using PTN, make sure you enter your correct personal information! In case there is a problem with your entry we might need to locate you or call you to resolve the issue. To do this we need your correct and full personal information!

Please note that your PTN account from the previous year(s) still exists. You need your password to login (these will be sent by email prior to ASSEMBLY to all existing users of PTN).

When you are submitting the entries, make sure you follow the compo rules! For example, make sure that your entry is no larger than the maximum file size of the compo and that you use only the approved file formats.

Competition deadlines

Deadline for Gamedev compo is Monday 31st of July, at noon. The deadline for individual, 4k intro and oldskool compos is Thursday 3rd of August at 22:00. The deadline for all other compos is Friday 4th of August at 20:00. Below is a more detailed table of the deadlines:

The Fast graphics, Fast music and Gamedev compos have deadlines that are different from the ones shown above.

Exceptions

Submitting your entry through the Internet

This year it is possible to submit your competition entry through the Internet. This feature has been created to allow competitors to submit their compo entries within the new, earlier deadlines. Please note that participation in the compos still requires that you buy a ticket and that either you or your trusted representative is present at the party place.

Read the instructions.

Using a trusted person to deliver your entry

If you can not come to the party place yourself, you can submit your entry via a trusted person. This means that you need to find somebody, who you trust enough to 1) submit your entry and 2) pick up any prizes you might win. Typically people choose group members (e.g. if a graphician is located in the United States, he might choose another person from his group, who is coming to ASSEMBLY, to deliver his compo entry). However, you are not limited to choosing a group member. Anybody can represent you as long as you trust them.

ASSEMBLY Organizing will pay the prizes to the trusted person and we make no guarantees after that. So make sure you select trustworthy individual.

Using this facility anybody from around the world can participate in the ASSEMBLY competitions.

Short film and oldskool compos plus console entries

Files in the Short film compo are so large that they have to submitted on DVD-Rs instead of being uploaded through the PartyTicket.Net. NOTE: there can only be ONE entry per DVD-R!

The entries in the oldskool compos and the console entries are handed in on the appropriate storage media (e.g. floppy disks and CD-Rs). Note that in the console compo you have to deliver the bootable CD-R as well as the CD-image. The CD-image must be uploaded through PTN.

In all of these cases follow the procedure below

1. Submit your entry's information using PTN
2. Come to the Infodesk and leave your entry on physical media
3. Insert the entry sheet into the plastic pouch
4. Make sure your entry ends up in the proper compo! Stay at the infodesk for the whole duration of the procedure!
