Kongregate is sponsoring and Ubisoft is providing the prizes for The Kongregate Project Eden: Experience the Music Contest.  Developers must create “an original game where music is an integral element to the game play or game experience.” The top 25 entries will be judged by Child of Eden‘s creator Tetsuay Mizuguchi and GameSpot editor in chief Ricardo Torres. The contest ends June 21, 2011.

This contest seems perfect for the DIY community, despite all those forbidden AAA words I just typed. Kongregate has been seemingly impartial in the past for hosting indie titles on its site, Ubisoft is finally making the 2D Rayman Origins, and Rez and Space Channel 5 creator Testuya Mizuguchi is so cool he gets an honorary indie badge, no?

This contest at least starts out as a “by the people for the people” one. The eligible submissions will be posted on Kongregate for viewing and review. Registered users will rate the submissions. The twenty submissions that receive the highest average user-ranking results on June 24, 2011 will be selected as the potential prize winners.

Those prizes? $10,000 for first place; $3,000 for second; and $2,000 for third place. So, what are you guys waiting for? Go make us proud! Here’s the official rules. We’d be happy to see what you all make, so be sure to drop us a line.
