The original free app a day website Appvent Calendar is almost back in action. 

Kickstarting another month of free games (until December 25, at least), Blacksmith Games' site will launch on December 1, and is currently looking for submissions for its main door spots, which are available for free.

In addition, there's a consumer competition. You're encouraged to dress up as Santa Claus and record a two minute video of you doing 'something creative'.

All the entries will be shown on the Appvent YouTube channel on December 16, with the top 10 most viewed gaining prizes ranging from $15 iTunes cards, up to a Parrot AR.Drone, an iPad, or a 13@ MacBook for the top three.

You can get more details via the Appvent Calendar website.
