compo n.
[[demoscene]] Finnish-originated slang for `competition'. Demo compos are held at a [demoparty]. The usual protocol is that several groups make demos for a compo, they are shown on a big screen, and then the party participants vote for the best one. Prizes (from sponsors and party entrance fees) are given. Standard compo formats include [intro] compos (4k or 64k demos), music compos, graphics compos, quick [demo] compos (build a demo within 4 hours for example), etc.
