TMDC11 will be held from

Text mode demos offer unique challenges for the demo maker which play a very insignificant role in other kinds of demo competitions. First of all, resolution and color spaces are rather limited, forcing the demo authors to consider different forms of anti-aliasing and careful adjustment of contrast and color balance.

Some prizes have unfortunately been lost in the mail in the past, and there's little we can do about that. If you have a group member close to Finland, use them as your mailing address.

Sorry about the lack of updates, but things seem to be getting more hectic every year..

The invitation demo for this year is not done yet, but you can always check out the invitations from earlier years, along with all the entries.

The prize info is also not available yet, but we'll have tAAt shirts and the infamous TMDC diplomas at least.

Alternative Party won't be organized this year, so we won't be having the prizegiving ceremony there. We're looking at other options at the moment, but we can always mail the prizes..

Remember that you can send us mail to be notified of TMDC8 updates.
