Some of you may remember the Asimov Awards, back from 2006-2008.
It was a programming contest that I run with a very moderate success 
(just 11 programs participated in total)

Now seems to be a good time to give it another go, and with some help 
from Glenside, I challenge you to participate in the Asimov Awards 2019.

The rules are quite simple. You can participate with any program that:
Will run in a Color Computer 1, 2 and/or 3
Has been finished after April 23rd, 2018.
The program may require additional hardware, as long as that hardware is 
or was commercially available. This includes, but is not limited to:
Sound Carts, like the Sound/Speech Cartridge, Orchestra-90, GMC, CoCo 
PSG, etc.
512Kb/1Mb/2Mb RAM expansion boards.
CoCoVGA
CoCo SDC
H.D. adapters
6309 CPU

And it must be submitted for review before April 22rd, 2019.

There will be at least 2 categories (BASIC and ML). Additional 
categories may be created if considered convenient.
You can send your program in DSK or similar format to 
diegoba at adinet.com.uy. If your program can't be made available in such a 
format, let me know, and we will try to figure out something.
Trophies will be given at CoCoFest, and I will make sure that you get 
yours even if you can't assist to the Fest.

Remember, you don't have to write a program specifically for the 
contest. You can participate with anything you wrote after the last 
CoCoFest (April 23, 2018)
