[{demoscene}] Finnish-originated slang for `competition'. Demo compos
are held at a {demoparty}. The usual protocol is that several groups
make demos for a compo, they are shown on a big screen, and then the
party participants vote for the best one. Prizes (from sponsors and
party entrance fees) are given. Standard compo formats include
{intro} compos (4k or 64k demos), music compos, graphics compos,
quick {demo} compos (build a demo within 4 hours for example), etc.
