Epic Games announces the kick-off of the new installment in their Make Something Unreal competition in conjunction with Intel. The contest once again will offer prizes valued in excess of (pinky to mouth) one million dollars! Word is:

The Make Something Unreal Contest is created for you to have fun working with the engine while making something Unreal to share with the community! It is broken into four different phases, which are not dependant upon each other. The idea behind having four phases is to encourage people to enter early and often, and to keep improving their mods over time. You can enter the same mod in all four phases of the contest but, in order to be judged, there must be noticeable improvements to the mod upon the second or third submission. We're anxious to tell the world about your mod, but we'll want your help to do so. If you have an official web site for your mod, then we'll happily post your URL, along with the download URL you provide for the mod itself, on our contest web site once it is fully operational. One thing we're anxious to do with this mod contest is to help mod makers get professional status. Nearly half of the people who work on Epic Games' development team were former mod-makers! We want to help you make it to the big leagues as well. Think you have what it takes? Check out the Epic Jobs page.

You can enter any phase you wish, and do not need to be a winner of previous phases. If you win any phase, you are free to enter the next phase once it opens (except for Grand Finals which required you to be a finalist of Phase 4).

All phase prizes and details can be found on our Categories page.
