Game Donation Charity Drive
The Education Project for Homeless Youth is returning to U-Con this year for another Game Donation Drive. Last year's drive was a huge success, with U-Con attendees, vendors, and committee members donating nearly 100 games and $350. Because of this, every homeless student in Washtenaw county received a game as part of their holiday gift bag from EPHY last year. You can find out more about this year's drive, such as acceptable items for donation, at U-Con's website.
Game Design Contest U-Con is hosting a game design contest and we need players to determine the winner. Players are required to have a convention badge, the least costly of which is a $5 visitor badge. The contest will take place Saturday afternoon from noon to 6pm. Players need not stay the whole session, though we request they avoid leaving in the middle of a game.
Video Game Tournaments In cooperation with Wolverine Software.
Friday: Retro Games! Free and open to all. Play classic games for the Atari 2600 and NES. Prizes awarded.
Saturday: Halo Reach! $3 entrance fee and requires a badge. Prizes awarded.
