School Media Invited into Informatist World via Winter '08 Global Competition

An unlimited number of winners will receive cash prizes up to $2,000; branding and partnerships available to school newspapers and radio

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Online business simulation experts MiniEconomy.com -- http://www.minieconomy.com/ -- today announced the launch of a Winter 2008 competition for their award-winning online business simulation game, Informatist (http://www.informatist.net/). Players around the world will win cash prizes up to $2,000 based on the total value of their companies. Of significant interest to school media outlets everywhere is the unique opportunity to partner with MiniEconomy.com and define their own brand, both within and outside the game.

"As well as offering a fantastic competition on a superlative online business simulation gaming platform, we want to involve every aspect of educational institutions throughout the world to benefit students and facilitate teaching," said Fred Xue, CEO of MiniEconomy.com. "While there are three grand-prize levels which an unlimited number of players can win, we believe that the school newspapers and radio should also be rewarded for helping to spread the news about the competition. That is why we are offering these media outlets the chance to establish their brand in the Informatist game world in association with MiniEconomy.com. At a time when the global economy seems to be staggering into recession, the Informatist competition is specifically designed to challenge young minds into becoming the capable, skilled and experienced economic leaders of the future."

The Informatist competition begins on December 1, 2008 and the entry period stretches to the end of 2009, thus allowing significant time to enter the ongoing competition. Students will be able to practice their management and game playing skills and strategies in Informatist's unique Practice Environment at no charge whatsoever. The game's initial approach focuses on building an industrial business empire, but it soon develops into other highly challenging areas including business management, real estate, stock market dealing, human resource management and much more.

The registration fee for the Informatist competition is $20 and an unlimited number of players, located anywhere in the world, will win a wide variety of prizes ($500 - $2000) based exclusively on the total company value that they can build up in the game within the first 30-day period of play.

The international school media which cover the game through its duration will be able to build their brand around the game accordingly. MiniEconomy.com is offering a support package of considerable interest to educational institutions, including paying a commission based on the number of students who register. The school can be listed as a Competition Partner in the game in return for introducing the game to the students, reporting the competition and reviewing the winner. All hosting and technical support will be provided free of charge to the schools involved.

Designed by a team of professionals whose qualifications include Economics, Business Administration, Computer Science and Public Media, Informatist is already proving to be an excellent breeding ground for the next generation of businesspeople. The Winter '08 competition will offer real-world prizes for a virtual-world game and expand the Informatist brand across the world.
