Unlike other Tribute Contests for IF Luminaries which are Running Next Spring

That sentence piqued my curiosity in the same way a nuke lights a cigarette. Is there another contest going on?

The Second Quadrennial Ryan Veeder Exposition for Good Interactive Fiction was recently announced, with a note to “the intfiction.org set” that:

the Second Quadrennial Exposition is announced in the wake of the announcement of some other IF community event for games written in tribute to some other specific person. An ignorant observer might posit that this entire Exposition announcement is merely a parody of that other event. Such an observer would be incorrect.

In fact, the Judge takes his Exposition so seriously as to consider his event to be in direct competition with that other event— but this is not to say that it is acceptable to refer to this event as a “competition.”
