Send completed submissions to competition@amigausers.ie. Your submission must not be a previously published work. Closing date for entries: Midnight (UTC), Jan 8th 2020. Good luck!

All entries will be scored by attendees on the day after a shortlisting process. You can enter all three categories, but you may only enter one item in each category. Amiga Ireland will test your submission on receipt. We will contact you if there is any issue. In the unlikely event that there is a technical problem with presenting your submission on the day, we cannot guarantee it will be included but we will do our best. Submitted source files will be published online when results are announced and may also be included shown on live stream / pre-recorded online video / podcasts etc. Entries will be voted on during Amiga Ireland 2020 on the 17th & 18th of January. Results will be announced at Amiga Ireland and will be posted online within days of the event.
