    Twilight Demoparty 2002 Belarus Grodno (Last Edition)


   Festival of Computer Art Twilight Demoparty 2002
will begin on Saturday, July 6 at 11:00 am and will end on 
Sunday at 18:00.


   For more recent information and, accordingly, you can
found on our website: http://twilight.org.ru


   Visitors to the festival must register and obtain the
complimentary entrance badge with their initials. The 
registration fee is $ 2 for two days and $ 1, if only for a 
second day. For authors who will exhibit their work at the 
festival, the cost will be $ 1 regardless of the number of 
days. Please note that the ticket as such at the festival

will not! In order not to attract attention from the Tax 
Inspectorate, DAEC, etc. Therefore, the badges issued at 
registration a pass to the festival and its relation 
necessarily! Tenders will be evaluated on a 10-point system. 
Each contest will be on a separate sheet for voting (Vote 
Sheet). After passage of the next competition sheets will be 
collected, and then same will be the votes. This system has 
proven itself as an optimal and allows the concrete to save 
time in counting of votes. Therefore kindly requested to take 
leaves with Successful competition immediately upon its 
completion, because otherwise, you save time and nerves to the 
organizers, and accordingly will not mess with the brakes and 
counting! Just ask your attention to the fact that the voting 
lists will not be taken into account:


- If the piece would be correct (refer to the organizers,
and they will swap it with the new);

- If the piece will be an estimate of type 0 0 0 0 0 9 0 0 0, 
frankly speaking, that people voted for themselves or their 
group. All exhibited work will be most severe preselekt:) and 
frank lame will not be right!; 


   And kindly requested to fill out a mini-questionnaire and 
the data are Need to account for the visitors and in no way be 
considered when counting the votes, and even more so this 
information is not will be transferred into internal organs or 
the KGB. ;) 


   The festival will take place in two days, not "non STOP!". 
Because people are not made of steel, and machinery also need 
to rest. Approximately, the first day will be devoted to 
tradition, the platform ZXSpectrum, second - Amiga / PC. More 
details about the passing of each day, you can learn the rules 
of the festival. 


   About places to stay: I think it is unlikely there are 
willing to spend the night at partyplace:), so part of 
nonresident visitors to the festival we will be able to mark at 
home (try advance contact with the organizers). Likewise in our

city ​​has a sufficient number of comfortable hotels, 
information on availability and pricing will be published 
closer to the date of the festival. 


   Now, about some of the formalities, you people and adults
themselves need to understand that the festival is not:

- Bring and drink hard liquor, drugs
means to be in a state of intoxication - such people will
immediately remove from partyplace afford protection.

- Be in possession of any weapon, you do not come in shooting;)

- Break the rules of the festival and to interfere with his 
conduct. In other words, do not pull the microphone from the 
organizers of "Like, let me say !..." If you have information 
you would like to to convey to others, please contact in 
advance with the organizers and you will be given time! 

- Insulting participants, spectators, employees, agencies and 
police. Well there is nothing to even comment, because such 
people one can only sympathize. Behave sensibly, and with you 
nothing will happen! 

- Falsify documents used by the organizers - badges
sheets for voting, questionnaires, etc. Again, no comment, so I 
think that it is unlikely anyone in the head vzbredet : D but 
the craftsmen - I want to assure - the quality of the documents 
will be at!


- To break any equipment (such as space, so the festival).
God forbid that it came to this, but nonetheless - in the event 
of such action: (you assume full responsibility for the 
compensation of the loss. 


   WARNING!


   There is no document, activating these requirements. 
Visiting the festival, YOU thereby confirm that you agree to 
all terms Twilight Demoparty. Exhibiting work you fully trust 
her group preselekta. Maintaining order at the festival 
Twilight Demoparty will deal with the police. They will take 
anyone who violates the rules of the festival, and the laws of 
the Republic of Belarus! 


   Thank you for reading this text to the end!
