"In its 22 years, SXSW has grown from a tiny music festival in the Texas capital into a massive, unavoidable media beast that reflects, discusses and showcases trends in culture and media but also often creates them." National Post, 3/13/08
We are often asked about new features to the festival. One of the many surprises in store for 2009 is the ScreenBurn at SXSW Game Design Competition which provides a venue for emerging designers to pitch their video game concept to a jury of established professionals. Participants were asked to submit their ideas for a game they would like to develop.
