Prizes for the creative competitions announced
We're proud to present the final list of creative competitions for The Gathering 2010, along with the prizes. We try to tweak the prize distribution every year to stimulate participation in the different competitions. Prizes total at over 180 000 NOK this year!
Game competitions have always been a tradition on The Gathering. As Norway's big gather point for computer interested, we also attract lots of hardcore gamers.
Are you interested in programming? Do you like logic, mathematics and problem solving? In that case, you might be interested in the Norwegian Olympiad in Informatics (NIO)!
Do you fancy sitting next to The Gathering's best coders, graphicians, musicians and other creative souls? All normal tickets for The Gathering 2010 are sold out, but if you'd like to spend Easter in a creative and inspiring environment within sneezing distance of exciting seminars and skilled people, you should know that we've still got tickets left for people like you.
Are you tired of eating eating noodles, cup a soup or whatever food you can prepare in a microwave oven? Then you're in for some luck, this year The Gathering is offering you a ticket for three breakfasts and three proper dinners.

The Gathering is offering two different types of tickets; one included membership in KANDU and one without. What is different? KANDU explains why you should join KANDU!
It will probably seem extra scary to arrive at The Gathering and be all alone. A lot of new people and a high activity level will not make things easier. But did you know that there are other participants that would include you to their group, so that you wouldn't feel so all alone?
Which games we use in our tournaments is always a great and sometimes difficult decision to make. There are a large number of participants at The Gathering, and many of those are taking part in the game contests we organize. This is of course something we appreciate, but our challenge is that we can not always please everyone.
