Organisation
The Jheronimus Bosch 500 Foundation in 's-Hertogenbosch is initiator of the competition, and is supported by the Digitale Werkplaats ’s-Hertogenbosch. The Digitale Werkplaats is a New Media Arts Centre and part of the Centre of Visual Art ’s-Hertogenbosch.
 
The organisation holds the right to exclude participants who do not observe the rules. No correspondence will be entered into.
 
Announcement of the winner
An expert jury will judge the entries. The organisation expects five finalists will be selected, but reserves the right to select fewer finalists.
 
The jury's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
 
IP rights
Use of images and video material by the Jheronimus Bosch 500 Foundation to promote competition, winners, prototype, and final game applies to all entries.
 
It is intended that one playable prototype will be further developed, launched, and jointly marketed by its creators and the Foundation. When the creators are not willing or able to develop their prototype into a playable game, the Foundation reserves the right to assign this to an external production team. In both cases, the Foundation may exploit the developed game without further restriction, for example by free distribution. 
 
The Jheronimus Bosch 500 Foundation will not lay any other claim on copyright or other intellectual rights of ownership of entered pitches.
