Two Prize Categories:
1. Software: This category includes games, emulators, and applications. Prize will be awarded based on creativity, functionality, and impact on the community.
2. Hardware: This category includes hardware mods or projects. Participants can submit completed projects by the January 31st deadline. If a project is not yet finished, participants must submit a video demonstrating proof of concept by the deadline. The hardware prize will only be awarded once the project is finalized and released under an open-source license in accordance with the contest rules. This approach allows flexibility for hardware developers while ensuring the contest remains fair and innovative.
Projects may use official or unofficial development tools, such as NXDK, XDK, or other available options, and must be open-sourced on GitHub or similar platforms, fostering collaboration and community support.
Rules include:
1. No NSFW Content: Projects must not contain adult, offensive, or inappropriate material to keep the event inclusive and family-friendly.
2. Open-Source Requirement: All submissions must be open-sourced or allow community contributions, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.
3. Previously Started Projects: Games, emulators, applications, or hardware mods that have been previously started are welcome, provided they meet all event requirements and show significant progress or improvements.
4. Originality Requirement: Projects must be the original work of the entrant or represent a significant improvement or expansion of an existing project.
5. Hardware Safety: Hardware modifications must include clear documentation to ensure safe and responsible use and should not encourage practices that could permanently damage consoles.
6. Documentation: Submissions must come with adequate documentation, detailing how to build, install, or use the project so that the community can easily engage with or extend the work.
7. Licensing: All open-source projects must use a permissive license to guarantee that others can learn from or contribute to the work.
8. Community Engagement: Participants are encouraged to engage with the community by sharing progress updates on the Xbox-Scene forums or Discord, contributing to a collaborative and supportive event atmosphere.
9. Xbox One and Xbox Series X Compliance: Projects for Xbox One or Xbox Series X must not interfere with or negatively impact Xbox Live, the Xbox terms of service, or any other Microsoft services.
Prizes: Exciting prizes will be awarded to the top entries in both categories! Details will be announced soon.
