List of all competition prizes
The total value of all the prizes for Assembly Summer 2009 will be over 45.000 euros!!! The figure might go up depending of sponsors and budget. This is divided between the demoscene competitions and gaming competitions, roughly 2/3 and 1/3 respectively. Assembly Summer 2009 prizes will be both hardware and cash in selected compos for top places. This year, all the #1 placements receive full cash prizes. It might also include some software as an added bonus. The value of all hardware is given to us by the sponsors, so we calculate the value on average prices - not by the cheapest webshop you can find on the planet.
All damages to the party place, other surroundings and other damages caused by party visitors will be reduced from the prizes before any prizes are paid. This is because of previous trouble with people breaking up places, furniture and spraying the walls and thus causing damages.
Depending of the quality and number of entries in each category, main competition organizer can opt to redistribute some of the prizes (max 50%) to other categories.
All prizes will be paid at the party place. All the cash prizes will be paid in euros. By the Finnish regulations, the winners must handle all possible taxes from their prizes by themselves with their own country's tax authorization. Assembly is keeping the logs and will provide them to these authorities by request.
