Something doesn't quite seem right, though. I hope they can come back and clarify this competition.

I went to the homepage and the only working link is to the film comp. The rest of the links (to their software, hardware & music depts) are all non-functional. Actually, I'm wondering why a software company would be having a film competition, regardless.

There does not seem to be a physical place where the films are screened at... the winners are just notified if they win... the entry fees are well above average... and the cutoff time is extremely close, for a notification...

Something's wrong with this, I believe.

Edit: They *do* have a registry entry with Withoutabox, but their links to it from their website lead to the mail-in entry page at Genesis with instructions for mailing cheques, prepaid & otherwise.

Edit: The only payment taken is "Money Order , Cashiers Check, or Personal Check".

Edit: Enquiry placed with "Without A Box".
