This competition will reward the truly great modders out there, and will hopefully encourage more people to mod for UT2K3." Word is that "..entries can be made in 13 categories, including 'Best Mod,' 'Best Character,' 'Best Use of 3D Sound,' 'Best Real-Time Non-Interactive Movie (also known as Machinima),' and more", and prizes include over $1,000,000 in total, with first prize $50,000 and a $350,000-value commercial Unreal Engine license.

    They flew people in from as far away as Canada, eh? Taking Toronto as the starting point, that would make it a whole 2 hour flight to Raleigh. I'm just teasing you, but really... how far away do you think we northern folk are?
