PlanetUnreal (Who knew they were still around???) has posted the official Press Release (http://planetunreal.gamespy.com/fullstory.php?id=156746) from Epic Games announcing the Phase 2 winners of the $1,000,000 Make Something Unreal contest (http://www.makesomethingunreal.com/).

Epic Games, Inc. today announced Phase 2 winners in its $1 Million Intel Make Something Unreal Contest. The competition rewards top mods created for Unreal Tournament 3 with cash and hardware prizes in four preliminary phases and a grand final judging. In this portion of the judging alone, a total of $70,000 in cash prizes will be distributed to mod authors who place each category.

“Epic’s mod contest has provided benefits for both mod authors and the game industry alike,” said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, Inc. “Past winners have gone on to ship commercial games using the Unreal Engine, and several former members of the Unreal mod community have found jobs either with Epic or with companies licensing the Unreal Engine.”
