Howdy all,
Yesterday evening I stumbled across the Come Out & Play website:
http://www.comeoutandplay.org/2011/04/26/submit-to-the-2011-come-out-play-field-day/
What is Come Out & Play? From their website:
Located in New York harbor, a half mile from the southern tip of Manhattan, Governors Island boasts fields, bike paths, forts and complexes of old houses and barracks.
For the Field Day we will be looking for roughly 10-12 games outdoor games that can be played on Governors Island on July 16. Games can range from quick play social games to new sports to large-scale events. We will be grouping games together so players will be able to check out different games and try out as many different games as possible. Shorter and smaller games will be expected to run multiple times throughout the day to accommodate walk-up players.
All submissions are due by May 27.
We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis as they come in and letting designers know about acceptance as soon as possible.
As always we’re looking for new games that make interesting use of space and bring the fun outdoors.
The constraints:
Playable in public on Governors Island Must be able to run Saturday, July 16 About Come Out & Play
Come Out & Play provides a forum for new types of street, mobile and location-based games. We bring together players eager to explore the world around them, with designers interested in producing innovative new games and experiences. Oh yeah, and we have city-sized fun.
I've designed a few active outdoor games, and I figured that some of you would be likely to have done so also. That's why I'm sharing this with y'all here.
If I am interpreting this correctly it means you must not only create a game but be there to run it for them.
Given what rcjames said, I strongly suspect that they do want the designer(s) there.
Well, shucks.
