2008 UT3 Mod Contest Announced -- 1,000,000$ in Prizes

[Zeph]

Any idea on how the educational category will be judged?

[Phopojijo]

The educational category is open to any student or faculty member of any accredited school. This can be a high school, university, community college, etc. You don't have to build the mod on behalf of any official school project or function. You simply have to be an enrolled student or faculty member and submit a mod for the contest and the name of your institution. In order to be eligible in each category, the school will be required to verify your status and indicate that they would accept cash prizes, and allow us to use their name publicly when listing contest winners.

Basically it's a mod as usual -- but the prize goes to the institution.

Ouch, this is harsh. Great time to have a computer that can't run UT3...

or any other game in your case :awesome:

[Phopojijo]

Well the contest is over (except for the Grand Finals and Educational categories) and the winners selected. Check 'em out at http://www.makesomethingunreal.com/phase4_winners.aspx

Which version should I buy? I wont be creating anything for the game so I dont need any special tutorials or editor.

[t3h m00kz]

Editor comes with it, as far as I know, regardless of what version you buy.

I'd say get the Unreal Pack from steam, but if you just want UT3 pick it up from wherever. It's cheap by now.

[Heathen]

Well the only one I see on steam is UT3 Black. Is that the same as plain ol' UT3?

[Ifafudafi]

Yep, just with the added Titan Pack (which was fairly light and free anyway) and complete Steam integration.

The Australian one really surprised me. The flat coloured one with the trippy effects. That could really be something.
