The Game Creators, the company dedicated to making game design accessible to anyone who wants to learn their software, have teamed up with Intel in order to launch a brand new contest that will land one lucky winner a vacation valued at $5,000.

Other winners can get a cash prize of $1,000, promotion from The Game Creators, a netbook, and more.

The focus of the competition is to design a game that can run easily on a netbook.

The competition actually opened up on August 4th already, but runs through October 3rd at 12pm GMT (4am Pacific). Winners will be announced on October 15th.

If you’re interested, you can read the official rules and get started working on that new prototype.

The only kicker is that “Game Apps must be created with either DarkBASIC Professional or Dark GDK.” So if you’re not already using their software, you’ll need to get a copy in order to participate. But if you’re already working with their design tools, then you’re all set.
