Game Girl Advance posted a link to something called "The 11th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition," which sounds pretty cool. From IFComp 2005's official site:

For the last eleven years, the readers of the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.int-fiction have held a yearly interactive fiction competition. For fans of the old Infocom games as well as for newcomers to the genre, the competition is a chance to enjoy some of the best short adventure games available anywhere.
