deadlines?

The deadlines on the Serious Play conference site itself is different - April 1st (pro) and May 1st (student). Where did you find this description showing May 31st?

Deadline is correct.

I verified this with their team. They updated the website to reflect the correct date for international serious tabletop games. (a new category this year). So it is May 31st and the site has been updated now.

Well I'd better get busy!

That's good to hear! Though now I've got to rush to assemble materials for my entries!

Same Here

This sounds like an excellent opportunity. I actually gave a presentation on this - as well as a few of my game designs for my day job - just two weeks ago.

Thanks for sharing this news, and the revised date!
