Submit a game prototype and if chosen the team gets 65,000 Euros, to finish development and then a 50 50 split on profits.

Activision launches own independent games contest:
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/activision-launches-own-independent-games-contest -
The Activision one is United States only though :(

:( indeed, apologies. I really should have read the whole thing.
"The contest is currently open only to US residents, and requires the submission of a design brief, proposed team structure, budget and schedule and, optionally, a gameplay demo." -
Hate that Kotick guy anyways, he can keep his stupid comp :P
Other comp looks good though

Regarding the Activision competition…
Interestingly, the terms of the competition, which must be agreed to, say entrants must "acknowledge" that Activision may make games "similar to the entrant’s submission" and must give first right of refusal to Activision for the development or publishing of any submission.

I found that piece particularly distasteful. :? -

Meh. Seemed like boilerplate ass covering to me, take suitable precautions yourself and I see no reason not to enter. Especially if other indies are taking a backseat on this one.
To cover both sides this is the kind of format of comp I would like to see: just submit some ideas and the team background (no business plan and demo not needed) and the 10 best get funded 10k each to the point of rapid prototype (if you don’t deliver repay the money and ip remains yours), then cull to 3. If any of the culled 7 get offered a deal or sales exceed 50k then the 10k gets repaid for use next year. The 3 that remain get another 50k each were if development fails the ip is then owned by the sponsor plus any unspent money is returned. If development completes and they want to publish you get 30% of sales. Don’t like that then it costs 150k to get out of the contact. Business is Business!
