Dream Build Play 2009 is underway!

As I announced recently, the annual Dream Build Play XNA game development competition is running again this year, with up to $75,000 in cash prizes to grab. As of writing the competition has been open to registrations for a little over a week, so I hope everyone has gone and registered, and started developing their winning game using the free trial of XNA Creators Club provided by MS upon registration.

This year they will be enabling team registration, allowing you to identify team members and better handle any goodies that are given out upon submission. Last year they gave a free premium subscription to whoever submitted the game, which meant teams only got 1 subscription. This will be opened later in April, so keep an eye on the website.

This year the prizes consist of the following:

1. $40,000
2. $20,000
3. $10,000
4. $5,000

Along with the cash, all four winners will get the potential opportunity to receive an Xbox Live Arcade publishing contract, and sell their game to the millions of registered Xbox Live users.
