I second that. The US Yaroze scene is dead compared to that of the
European and Japanesse scenes. A good contest with a modest prize of
publication on PlayStation Underground would jumpstart the US scene.
But to do that, we'd need SCEA's seal of approval.

If we can't arrange that, then we could all pitch in for the prize.
Say...each entry requires a $10 fee; winner takes half the pot, with
second and third places each getting a forth of the pot.

Of course, Publication of the top three games in PlayStation
Underground would be the most motavational prize of all as well as the
least expensive - you wouldn't have to pay anything to enter the
contest.

So... What say ye, Sony?
