The demo will be stopped immediately if this rule is not obeyed. The competition jury has the right to adapt, change and implement the rules, considering the best of the community.

CATEGORIES

This year demos will be in following categories:

Scene
Category for all classical demo scene entries, including demos and intros. All platforms and sizes are allowed, and platform choice will be promoted. Therefore, choose your platform wisely!

Today I Learned (TIL)
All platforms, mediums and materials allowed, all sized allowed. The only limitation is that 50 % or more of the team members should be first timers. You can even enter a work done at WÄRK:fest! Just remember the competition is about learning: ask for help, discuss with a mentor, but always make the work in your own, unique style!

Mixed
Wärkfest focuses on combining different kind of people, skills and techniques. This demo requires that you combine at least two different materials, techniques or mediums into one entry. To demonstrate the process, you must provide 3 pictures demonstrating the building of the entry.

Real real time
Real time gone wild: whatever you do, it must be done on stage. Draw a picture! Code! Execute animation! The main idea is that the entry must be something created on the spot and therefore somehow dynamic to the context.
