Future Play Competition
So let's say you are a beginning indie game developer, still in school and wondering how in the world you can compete against these experienced, professional game devs out there.

Well, one option that was just brought to my attention is FuturePlay. They have a competition in November in Toronto with the following stipulations:

• Only full-time college or high school students may have worked on the game, and those student developers must have been enrolled in school at least through the Spring 2007 quarter/semester at that school.
  

• You must have had no professional game developers help develop your entry. The spirit of this event is to showcase what students can do, unassisted by professionals. Your teacher/professor, of course, is an exception unless they are a professional developer.

So now you don't need to worry about the seasoned vets blowing you out of the water. Speaking as a seasoned vet who has been blown away by some student-created indie games out there, I don't think the competition is going to be that much easier. But if you are interested, the full submission details can be found here:
