Announcing Rewired 2008
After close to a decade of silence, Belgium has a new demoparty : Rewired. The party starts on friday the 20th of june - doors close on sunday the 24th and is held in the town of Maaseik. Maaseik is located in the top-left corner of Belgium at about 50 meters from Holland (no, really). Okay more realistically Maaseik is located about 15 minutes north of Maastricht or 25 minutes south of Eindhoven. German visitors will have a 30 minutes drive from Aachen. The ultra-important url ? http://www.rewired.be/

Compo updates
Update to the compo rules: we've decided to cancel the theme graphics competition because of a notable decline in both quantity and quality of entries over the last few years - it just seems like there's no significant interest.
However, we did receive email from several people interested in participating in the executable 4k graphics competition, so we'll now officially have one! Don't make us regret this :)

Hotel reservation system & ticket price
We've just launched the Breakpoint 2008 hotel reservation system offering big discounts to sceners over regular hotel prices.
We've also just published ticket price information. Thanks to our sponsors, we managed to lower the entrance fees compared to previous years. Regular entrance fee this year is now 55 Euros. For those who can't afford the ticket price (sceners coming from low-income countries and the like), there will be social tickets again, priced at 25 Euros (the missing 30 Euros are paid for by other sceners, pre-registration required).

Old legends from 1995
HUGE thanks to Kraku for providing us with pictures from Assembly 1995 and The Party 1995, along with a very special picture from Assembly 1996. Kraku wrote all his descriptions himself so don't blame me for not knowing old people ;)
executable 4k graphics competition
We are still not sure whether there is significant interest in a executable 4k graphics competition - if you are interested in participating, please contact us on the Breakpoint hotline.

Airport shuttle reservation system
We've just launched the airport shuttle reservation system - so please register yourself if you need a lift from the airport to breakpoint or back. The hotel reservation system will be launched later this week.

The creative compos theme
There has been a mistake. We earlier announced that the theme for every creative compos were the same, but this were a mistake. Environmental Earth Values (either serious or ironic view) and/or Transformers is the theme for Themed graphics compo, and only that.
