Deadlines are not decided yet: I'll post them in the next weeks.
But authors interested should keep in mind that, approximately, games
should be ready to be submitted by the end of next November (in this
way, december will be the voting period and results will come on
Christmas)
Good luck

Let's be precise: by "next November" you mean "November, 2008"? Because
that is what is usually meant by "NEXT November". If, in fact, what you
actually meant to say was "November, 2007", then the correct wording for
that is "THIS November" (emphasis added), since November hasn't arrived
yet. This isn't trivial: the potential confusion is a period of a whole
year!
<rant>
Frankly, for the sake of clarity, and the avoidance of unnecessary
ambiguity, it is ALWAYS preferable to skip the "this month" or "next
month" bit altogether, and simply state the Jesus-freakin' YEAR. As
in: "Games should be ready to be sumbitted by the end of November,
2008." Now how direct and unambiguous is that? Sheesh! I am truly
sorry to sound so impatient but this is a pet peeve of mine. I mean,
good God! Does anyone even CARE about precise speaking anymore? Did
somebody actually, really need to point this out??? Grrrr!!!

Dear mr. Glenn,
Mr. Francesco Cordella, as I, are Italian, and English isn't our
mothertongue; I can humbly ask for a better tolerance towards language
errors ? BTW, in Italian, "il prossimo Novembre" (literally,"next
november" ) means the first incoming November, that is, in English,
"this november".
English isn't the only language in the World.... ;)
Best regards from Italy,
Dott. Piergiorgio.
I mean "THIS November", to be more precise: "November, 2007".
English world: I'm sorry.

Actually, the interpretation of "next November" as anything but the
very next November (November 2008) is blatantly incorrect, though it
is not an uncommon misinterpretation at all. I agree though, that
since this mistake is so common, it is best to include the year for
the sake of clarity.
