Location: St Kilda Beach

Beachparty 2009 is a demoscene get together on the beach featuring demos and competitions for music, graphics and coding.

Everyone is invited to enter the competitions, however it should probably mentioned that the rules push the focus towards older/classic home computers and the sounds and sights that can be produced on them

                             Beach Party 2009 Results!
                             -------------------------

First up, a huge thank you to all who turned up to the party, and particularly
to all those who participated in the competitions.

Allowing remote contributions to the competitions will continue to be a feature
at future Beach Party events, so if you're interstate or overseas with few
local parties or you just have an experiment you wish to unleash on a bunch of
willing sceners, keep us in mind!

For those of you unfamiliar with the rules of Beach Party, we had a bonus
system in place.  The bonus system was so that the barrier to entering a compo
is quite low (ie. videos or flash demos in the demo compo), but also so that
traditional demoscene and oldschool productions are encouraged and rewarded.

... without further ado, here are the results for the competitions at
