Casual Gameplay Design Competition #7 (http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/11/game_design_competition_7.php) is up on Jayisgames. Entries must design a one-room game of interactive fiction in Z-code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machine) that incorporates the theme: "escape".
I'm sharing this because they recommend using Inform (http://inform7.com/)to create a text adventure and I've been playing with the tool and it's pretty powerful. It uses natural language to build the game which is a unusual for me, being a developer and used to interpreted code.
I can't find any rules disallowing a South African to enter and there's $1,000 for first place.
P.S. There's a screencast (http://inform7.com/learn/movies/) of Inform in action
