I've googled before ask, found a lot regarding previous years, but not much about this year. Also, I haven't found announcement on AtariAge and msx.org, that's why I'm asking.

Google results aren't the same for different countries. I had no complains, asked just to get information, and explained why. I had plans to participate, but tone of the last answer I have changed my mind. Thanks.

I never had the intention to insult you. In fact I am happy to hear the different results from different googles. This triggers me to try other google versions to try to get more attention to the contest.
So if you want, I still would like to get your submission.
Can you just be clear on what format to submit a spectrum game in. I have been tinkering with a game for a couple of years now (no laughing at the back, I'm not an advanced coder). It assembles to just over 3.5K in spin (look I said no laughing!) so will eventually be entered into the 4K section (unless I can optimize the hell out of it to get it into the 2k category).
I checked your site, but for me it was not clear how to submit it in the right format, ensuring it is within the size limits.

Submission is in the format that is suitable to the emulated machine.
For the ZX Spectrum that means a TAP-file.
For the ZX81 a P-file.
For Atari 2600 a BIN-file
For C64/Vic20 a PRG-file
ZX Spectrum has a 25 bytes overhead for the TAP-file, so a 1K programm may hold 1049 bytes, 2K = 2048+25=2073 and 4K 4096+25=4124
Your game may enter, but you might expect comments like:
"this could fit 2K" when you haven't coded in machinecode directly.
The 1K results are in, although only 3 persons have voted I can
say that the votes are non-biased since each individual results
looks a lot like other votings.
It looks like I've missed the deadline to vote then.
Ah well, I'd have picked the same top three anyway, so I'm saved the trouble. I'd probably have said there was a bigger gap between second and third though.

Right now we have 7 1K games.
Atari 2600, VIC 20, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum have joined in sofar!!!

We have Atari2600, Vic20, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum and we can use more...
Please sent in now!!!
Please vote!
(vote for the best game, not the best system!)
This means that your vote must be IN on sunday.
(I will check the mail on monday around 07:00 GMT, all mails before that time are considered in time).
So this weekend you can still try out the games and enter your vote.
