The Sonic Hacking Contest will return for the week starting October 10th 2022. The annual Sonic the Hedgehog modding contest is now accepting submissions until September 4th 2022 and September 25th for expo entries.
Expo entries are not judged so if your project is earlier in its development cycle and you’d like to give a wider audience an opportunity to experience your early work for feedback then this is the category for you. Contest entries will receive criticism from the panel of judges and also be eligible to win trophies, of which there are a handful of new ones for 2022’s contest.
A full list of information about contest categories, trophies judging and how to submit a hack or mod to this year’s Sonic Hacking Contest can be found on the contest’s official website. As per usual, SEGADriven will be running video coverage of the event during contest week, so subscribe to our YouTube channel which already hosts a large quantity of video features on various Sonic hacks and mods like the one below:
The next SonicLondon meet has been confirmed and will take place in Regent’s Park on the 7th of September. This meet also has a number of events taking place and are listed below:
“Art Corner: The voice actor and artist Andrew Hamblin, a SonicLondon regular, has kindly agreed to host our Art Corner for us. Go over and join him, grab a pencil and some paper (provided) and get sketching!
Blackjack: At some point during the meet Cyburn (a member of SonicLondon staff) will be hosting a game of Blackjack, and the eventual winner will recieve a prize. Time and prize to be confirmed on the day.
3DS/Vita Corner: Our friends from Monster Hunter Community UK have kindly agreed to host our handheld corner. They’ll be happy to play the likes of MK7/Mario Tennis/Luigi’s Mansion 2 with attendees. And would, of course, be most up for a sneaky Monster Hunt with those of you that way inclined.”

Heard of Sonic London? No? Well allow me to explain:
Sonic London is the name of a Sonic-themed fan meet that regularly occurs throughout the year. Previous meets have been held at Namco Station near Waterloo and the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank.
If you’ve ever wanted to attend a Sonic London meet the full details have now been published on the rathy swanky new website. You can access the site by clicking here.
The next Sonic London meet will take place on Saturday the 25th of August in Regent’s Park. If you’re interested you can confirm your attendance on the Facebook event.
Attendees must be 18+ as things usually gravitate towards a pub by the end of the day.
TitansCreed’s Community Spotlight feature is a monthly YouTube series where the man talks to various members of the Sonic and SEGA community to discuss various topics and projects. This month’s feature just happens to be on us!
I talk to TitansCreed about the website, where it originated, Sonic fan games, Summer of Sonic, community in general and my band. Check out the full feature below and learn a little about myself and the website:
The official website of the Summer of Sonic fan convention is now live! There’s not a lot more information other than what we already knew, but it’s certainly looking snazzy!
The 5th annual Summer of Sonic convention takes place on the 7th of July 2012 in the ‘London area’. Specific details about the venue are said to be coming ‘very soon’. Get pumped!
