WHERE AND WHEN

    The party will take place at Yl„-Savon Ammattioppilaitos in Iisalmi
    from 14th to 15th of January, 1995. Iisalmi is a small town between
    Kuopio and Kajaani  and it's located about 85 kilometers northwards
    from Kuopio.  The partyplace is near the town center, less than one
    kilometer from the market place.


ENOUGH SPACE

    Yl„-Savon Ammattioppilaitos is a good  place for the party. There's
    an auditorium,  lots of classrooms and a big dining room. The audi-
    torium features a video cannon &  large big screen, 150 comfortable
    seats and a good PA system (genelec).  The dining room will be used
    as a space for  all  the computer equipment you bring with you, and
    YES, there will be enough electricity for all. For sleeping we have
    a few quiet classrooms located far from the real action. One of the
    classrooms will be used as a storage, so you can store your bags or
    computer equipment there.  A kiosk  will be  open  during the whole
    party selling snacks,drinks and of course food. Toilets and showers
    are also available.

PRICE

    Because of the rent, cleaning costs and competion prices we'll have
    to lighten your wallet a bit.  The entrance fee  includes the whole
    weekend at the party place,  so if you just want to visit the party
    place, you still have to pay the whole price.  The price is 70 FIM,
    BUT if you  send  the registration form in  advance,  you only have
    to pay 50 FIM, so  send the  damn  form, or  contact the organizers
    (addresses at the end of file). Because we are not sure how the new
    tax (ALV) will affect the party, we reserve the right to change the
    entrance fee,  but it is 99,9% sure the price will remain as it is.


COMPETITIONS

    Every party  must  have some competitions.  This  time we will have
    atleast  a Demo-,  a Graphics-  and a  Music-competition.  In every
    competition  only the  top 3 will receive prices.  The prices  will
    be taken straight from the entrance fee (see the percentage below),
    and possibly  some  hardware  prices too, if we're  lucky enough to
    get some sponsors.

    Demo (50%)            Graphics (25%)       Music (25%)
    1. 30%                1. 12%               1. 12%
    2. 13%                2.  8%               2.  8%
    3.  7%                3.  5%               3.  5%

    If we get some sponsors, the  prices may  go up. If only 100 people
    attend the party, and  all of them have  registered in advance, the
    prices  will be 5000 FIM  altogether (100x50FIM = 5000FIM). Because
    we expect more than 100 attenders,  the prices will be higher, it's
    up to you. More the merrier!


COMPETITION RULES

    - All competition entries must be delivered before the DEADLINE
    - If you want to enter a competition, you must be present at
      the party. In case you compete with a demo, one person of
      the group must be present at the party.
    - All competition entries will be spread immediately after
      the party, so fix your production to an acceptable
      condition before entering the compo.
    - Testing your production on the compomachine is possible
      before the competition.


    DEMO:

    - Only one demo by group
    - The maximum size of a demo is 4096kb (4MB)
    - The maximum showing time is 15 minutes / demo.
    - Only 256k VGA modes are accepted, NO SVGA!
    - The demo must work without any user interaction,
      except for configuration (autodetection preferred :)

    GRAPHICS:

    - Only one picture by one artist
    - Only VGA 256k modes are accepted, so the maximum resolution is
      640*480 in 16 colors.
    - Picture must be hand drawn with deluxe paint or similar.
      Rendered, scanned or copied pictures will be disqualified.
    - If the picture is in tweak mode, bring your own viewer,
      because VPIC 6.1, which will be the general viewing program
      at the party, might not be able to show it.
    - We want to prevent the use of usual cheating methods, so bring
      atleast three (3) earlier versions of your picture : One from
      the beginning, one from the middle and the almost finished version.
    - Don't put your signature in the competition version! All
      pictures will be shown without the author's name.

    - Only one song by one artist
    - Maximum module size is 1024kb (1MB)
    - The participating song must be in one of thes common formats:
      .MOD .MTM .S3M or .XM.
    - Copies (straight sampling of metallica etc.) of known songs
      will be disqualified.
    - If you don't bring your own player, we will play the song
      with the latest version of Inertia Player (1.2). Every tune made
      with Fast Tracker (.XM) will be played with Fast Tracker 2.0.
    - Maximum playing time is 4 minutes per song


    The  competition machine  is  a standard  486/66 VLB/PCi PC,
    with 8 megabytes of memory ,Gravis Ultrasound (1024k) and
    SoundBlaster Pro  soundcards. Graphics card is TSENG ET4000/W32P PCi.
    These soundcard settings would be appreciated (preferred) :

       Gravis Ultrasound: 220,3,3,11,5
       Sound Blaster Pro: A240 I7 D1

    If you want to change something in your competition entry
    after the competitions (put a signature in your picture
    for example or update .nfo files), you can do it, but the
    time is limited to an hour or so, after that your production
    will be spread.


    * IMPORTANT ! *

    The organizers  reserve the right  to  disqualify  any  competition
    entry,  if  it contains  some  unsuitable material, such as racism,
    porno or windows(tm) stuff:). Also the organizers reserve the right
    to   change   the   competition  pricez  and  rulez  if  necessary.
    A  specially  selected  jury  will take a look at every competition
    entry   before  the   competitions.  The  jury  consists  of  party
    organizers & a couple of volunteers.

    Everyone  who  has  paid  the  entrance fee will receive a personal
    voting  sheet.  The  voting  system  will be the easiest ever, just
    put X:s over boxes. Now even  the  coders  can  learn  how to vote!
    Remember to take a pen with you.


WHAT ELSE?

    The exact party schedule will be published at the party,
    but here's some information:

     * SATURDAY:

    - The party begins at 10:00
    - Deadline for all competitions is at 18:00
    - Competitions will start at 22:00
    - DOOM (or?) competition (hopefully Rise of the Triad is released
      by then).


    * SUNDAY:

    - The party ends at 15:00

    Juhla'95 is supposed  to have  a special DOOM competion,  so if you
    have  a network  card, remember  to take it  with you. This is very
    important,  coz  we  don't  have many of them. Because we have this
    great  auditorium  at  our  disposal, it  will be a great chance to
    watch some movies and demos. So, if you got any good quality Sci-Fi
    movies, bring them with you.

    
GENERAL RULES

    - NO BOOZING OR DRUGS, if we encounter such events taking place,
      we will confiscate the stuff to our own disposal :). Drunks
      will be thrown out.

    - If you break something, you pay for it. You are fully
      responsible for your actions.

    - Selling food is not allowed without the permission
      from the organizers.

    - Smoking inside the party place is prohibited. Go out
      and smoke some weed, we don't care.

    - We do not take responsibility of illegal copying.

    - We do not take responsibility of unexpected events such as
      police raids, floods and electrical failures. If the party
      is cancelled for some reason, we are not obliged to pay back
      the entrance fee (this is just for our trip to Canada:).

    - If necessary, take an insurance for yourself and your things.
      We are not responsible if someone steals your stuff. But if
      someone is caught of stealing, we let the cops take care of it.

    - Let us know if you're coming! If we know exactly the number
      of attenders, it will help a lot. Also tell us if you have
      an extra video cannon :), network cards or something else useful.

    - If you or your group wants to be part of the organizing
      team, contact us by phone (preferred). We also need some
      sponsors for this event.
