From Wonderland, an announcement of a game design competition from Drew Crecente (brother of Kotaku Editor-in-Chief Brian Crecente) in memory of his daughter Jennifer. The challenge is to create a game that deals with teen violence, but is not itself violent. A difficult task, but certainly possible. Take, for example, the game Madrid.
If the good cause or the challenge doesn't pique your interest, there's another sweetner: the winner takes home a cool $1000.
All entries should be submitted by 15 April 2008. The game should be playable in Flash 9. More rules and conditions here, at JenniferAnn.org.
