The contest has been delayed. It was supposed to end on September 24th at 3:00 P.M. EST, but, unfortunately, due to a lack of contest promotion, it appears we only had 2 entries. Two. Comon' now guys and gals, we can do better than that, right? It ain't a contest with two entries!

As you can see, the title of the contest has now changed. It's no longer called "Ultimate Cash Giveaway!", but rather, the "Ultimate Goodies And Cash Giveaway!" Reason for this change, you ask? Well, we've just acquired a ton of more goodies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place winners! Erm... which also affects the rules.

Play-Asia.com is one of the new sponsors of the contest. They have willfully contributed $150 in PSP games and accessories for you all to compete for. The first portion of the contest consists of a private judging of all homebrew by PSP3D.com staff members. We will judge your application based off its originality, creativity, functionality, and useability. There will be a 1st place winner, who takes home $60 in prizes (whatever you wish to grab from Play-Asia.com, delivered to your doorstep), a 2nd place winner, who takes home $40 in prizes, and third and fourth place winners, who will both take home $25 in PSP prizes from Play-Asia. Special thanks to Play-Asia.com for sponsoring this part of the contest, check out there site if ya haven't already, they offer some pretty neat PSP games for awesome prices, and they even deliver worldwide!

Now if you happen to not win in this portion of the contest, behold, there's an entirely new part which guarentees a prize. Read on.

Here's how the cash portion of the contest works. All developers interested, with a new homebrew creation, send their entries to PSP3D.com staff. We review each submission, and add it in a poll alongside all the other entries. On Monday, October 9th, the poll will be publicly posted on the homepage of PSP3D.com, where the entire community votes for their favorite homebrew. Each vote earns you $0.50 USD. People keep voting until the total amount of votes reaches $150.00 USD (300 votes, collectively for all homebrew entries). Only one vote per PSP3D.com visitor, and don't worry, somebody will vote at least once for your creation, so all developers win, in the end. It's just a matter of who gets the most votes in the shortest amount of time!

Now, once again, for the rules. Only one submission per developer. The submission must be a unique and unreleased piece of homebrew; the entry need not be a new homebrew, per say, but may be an update to a previously released game/application. Keep in mind that a new homebrew release may score more points amongst the community and the judges, so you choose how much you want to make! You must have a PayPal account in order to acquire the prize money of the cash portion of the contest. The prize money will not be sent via any other means. All homebrew entries must have [this image] shown in a splash screen at the start of the game/application. Contest ends on Monday, October 9th, at 3:00 P.M. EST. Public poll will be posted later, same day. Send all submissions to Joe[at]PSP3D.com. PSP3D.com reserves the right to cancel/delay the contest should a lack of sufficient entries, once again, occur (which, hopefully this time around, won't happen)!

Good luck developing!

Well, I'm glad to hear about the new prizes.

I had to hunt around to find the submission rules, so hopefully with a reminder of when it is due a day or two ahead, you will get more submissions. I will update my project with the new submission image, and resubmit when the deadline comes. Besides I forgot to include my level editor in my submission.

Also Monday deadlines give you the whole weekend to finish up your submission.

I hope you get loads of entries....
Maybe instead of cash people would want memory sticks or psp faceplates and stuff.

even know the $200 could probably buy that i think more people would go for the faceplayes and ms's.

I know 2 people who still have to enter!

Sorry I couldn't get mine in, school is apparently more important.

I don't think I can even get in by then, but thankfully school holidays are coming up and I might be able to release then without entering it in a competition.

I would enter, but I don't know how to code. I do know a little HTML, but that's it. Plus I don't have enough time to learn how to code and I don't have alot of time since I am in school.

I couldn't find the rules or anything, but i had a question...

Currently i am working on software that will create EBOOT's for you to directly load a specified ISO. It is built on DevHookGUI v3.3. I was wondering if this would be a valid submission? I assume it isn't, since it is a PC based softwaare

I think the software I am making is very nifty to be honest, it has an autoload graphic specific to your game, and DevHook settings and the ISO to load are specific to the EBOOT... but still, it isn't really 'homebrew' just a handy bit of PC software. Sucks that i can't enter that...
