Hopefully it will become a regular every-year party. "Chaos Constructions" is organised by Concern Chaos and will be sponsored by various firms and companies of Sankt-Peterburg and Russia as whole. As was stated before, the CC will happen in the winter of 1998. Party will go for three days. 1st day will be free of charge. doors will open at 9 am. This day will serve the role of an introduction to the actual party. People, who simply could not register before the party over the phone, mail or electronically will have their last chance to be registered for the party. No registration will be made during the official hours of day 2 and 3. The best demos, music and gfx for all platformes (compo-machines) will be presented to the audience (this will also test all the equipment). Presentations of different firms and companies will take place, sponsors will have a chance to talk to the public. There will be many people and organisations who will be able to show their products and services: companies who develop hard/software for all computers, compatible with compo-machines, software/hardware sellers, dealers... Friends will meet and will have a great opportunity to interact. Also, the rest of tickets will be sold then (but people are strongly advised to reserve their tickets BEFORE the first day of Chaos Constructions). At 5pm the wild demo competition will commence. There will be no official voting for this event, the winner will be chosen by sponsors. Although, the support from the audience will be needed. The wild demo compo will go for approximately 2 hours, after which the sponsor's jury will choose the winner. In the meantime, the rest of organizers will make corrections (if needed) to the plan the second and third days of the party. At 8pm sponsors will announce the winner of the first CC98 event - wild demo competition. 1st day will be officially closed at 10 o'clock (pm). Pavillion will be cleaned up and brought back to normal. Depending on the number of people arrived, all necessary changes will happen (ie increase/decrease of security, entry control, cleaners, et cetera). To see the rest of the party , all visitors will have to buy tickets. Without the actual ticket, the entry to the day 2 and 3 of the party won't be granted to anyone... Day two and three will be the days of the Chaos Constructions, THE competition of the best demos, tracked music and visual art. There will be no registration accepted during the hours of these two days. All gfx and music compos will be held on the second day, all votes for these entries will be collected at the same day. ABSOLUTELY NO votes for graphics and music will be accepted on the next day. The last but not least day will be day 3. That is exactly when the most important things will happen, demo compos for all machines will be held, all votes for all entries will be counted, CC98 organizers will name and reword the winners of the party. Chaos Constructions of 1998 will be officially closed at 10pm. All results and entries will be made available on the internet sometime later this night. Appendix 1.
