Field-FX 2026

Competition Rules

Only submit your own work, solo or as part of a collaboration.
Compo entries must not have been released before. Previously released content is fine so long as the work as a whole is substantially new.
Runtime for any executable, wild or badge entry must not exceed ten minutes. If it does, it may be cut off after that time.
Play time for any music entry must not exceed five minutes. If it does, it had better be a banger.
No generative AI content in all compos.
No AI generated or inspired (e.g. prototyping or base artwork for tracing) entries in graphics and music compos.
We reserve the right to omit any entry for any reason, but we will do what we can to avoid that situation. Demoparties take a lot of preparation, and helping you with your issues is contingent on one of the crew having enough spare time to do so, which is not guaranteed.
Your prod cannot be against the Code of Conduct.

Adults are welcome to collaborate with young sceners, but for fairness please tell us who did what on the comments when you submit your entry

All executable entries need to provide the binaries required to run it on the target platform, short instructions (or a link) how to do so, and also a video capture of the production. We will check, within reason, that demos run as expected, but a video capture will ensure that your prod is shown on the screen at the party in the way that you expect it to be. If you need help with this, get in touch.
For anything more complex than a simple image or audio file, we recommend you include a text file (sceners still use the .nfo file extension for some bizarre reason) containing any additional information or licensing.

Read and follow the code of conduct. You know it makes sense.
We can refuse to show any entry for any reason. But we do want to show your entry, so read and follow the code of conduct.
You give us permission to play your entry at the party.
You give us permission to upload your entry to scene.org. If you wish for any additional information to be included alongside your upload, put it in the zip.
