Announcing Spring Thing 2012!

[Greg Boettcher]

The Spring Thing 2012 site is up and running:

http://www.springthing.net/2012/

The competition last spring was a definite success, and I'm definitely
running it again next spring. Sorry I'm a little later than usual in
making the announcement this year.

I have some good news to announce: there is already up to $900[*] for
the prize pool this year!

The donors are:
$200-$700[*], donated by Kate McKee
$100, donated by Wayne Miller
$100, donated by Greg Boettcher

[*] Kate McKee's donation is "$100.00 US, plus an additional $100 per
entrant, up to a maximum of $700." She is willing to donate a very
generous amount, but only if it helps encourage a good number of high-
quality games. Let's hope her donation, as well as Wayne's and my
donation, encourage people to enter the competition.

In case you hadn't heard, the Spring Thing is the *other* annual
competition for interactive fiction games. It happens every spring. To
find more about it, go to the following link. If you're interested in

Thanks again to last year's donors, judges, entrants, and others who
participated last year to make last year's event a success. We had 6
entrants and over $1000 in prizes.
