First big one of the kind, looks like, now that dev kits have been out all of a week in some places 
http://killscreendaily.com/create/
It is a "game jam" akin to the month-long thing Immortius did that produced Footbrawl Quest (which incidentally seems to have won! Although I can't find any real follow-up / announcements). But while that sports contest was more of a community enthusiast thing this one is for professional attention, $$$, and to motivate OUYA devs to produce produce produce
Rather than a month this one is set to last 10 days officially starting Jan 14th but people can start now. There's $45,000 up for grabs in prizes but the attention might be much more valuable than the 20k (+5k bonus if you launch officially on the OUYA) grand prize. Dev console + launch event invite too. Games don't even have to be complete, just good enough to stand out (bonus points for social media impact)
I might be an optimist but even with that I'm not saying we should go ahead and make a stab for the grand prize However, this is still a very interesting contest, and maybe a nice bit of motivation to at least go through the IntelliJ + LibGDX + Android tutorial (or Eclipse, which might be more suited for OUYA ..) and build a tic-tac-toe you can play on Android and with some minimal wrapping also on the OUYA (since I can actually play test stuff here)
Or even if somebody is up for it, participate fully! On your own, with a team, with or without a Terasology reference (Gooeys-r-us?). The secondary categories leave space for winning 5k + 1k bonus simply with a novel concept. The only requirement is that somebody on the team (my assumption there, official rules will be announced on the 14th) pledged to the Kickstarter or pre-ordered an actual console.
I know I won't have enough time to spare to try to solo something but I'll be happy to help out with actual testing and deployment to the console itself if somebody wants to give it a go
