Amega Party
Held in Porsgrunn, Norway by Cryptoburners, Fairlight, Dexion and Violence.
Often referred to as the 'Porsgrunn Party'. About 800-900 people attended.
There were criticisms directed at the party, since promises made in the
invitation were not held. First of all, the entrance fee mysteriously rose
before the party opened.
A jury of 8 people were appointed to judge the
competitions, no public voting was carried out. More than 70 contributions
were made for the music competition, but only 11 were judged and ranked.
Maniacs of Noise competed with two tunes, none of which were selected by the
jury. Despite stating in the invitation that no one could compete in the
competitions unless they were present at the party, Heatbeat came 2nd in the
music competition without attending.
Prices in the demo competition were 10,000 NOK for first prize,
2,000 NOK for second and 1,000 NOK for third.
