Q. Is this for J2ME or J2SE games?
A. This is open to all games built using Java technology. It is not specifically a J2ME or J2SE competition due to logistics. There was some discussion around making this a J2SE only competiton due to the large amount of J2ME competitions that are done, but decided to leave it open to everyone.
Q. Open to US Residents only?
A. No. This competition is open to any country that is not on a US trade embargo list. You must be 18 or older to enter and acceptance of prizes and ability to enter this competition is dependant on your local laws.
