How to enter a demo competition?

Once your intro is done, make sure the binary is within size and pack it together with a screen and/or video capture into a single ZIP file. Demo Parties usually have some kind of 'party system' where you can upload your intro either at the party place or remotely via the web. Its important that you haven't released or shown your work publically before the competition starts. For more information and specific rules, please check the website of the demoparty in question.
