Console & PC

The focus for this category is high-end games designed to be played on Console & PC. The judges are looking for completed games here. This is not a category for people to share parts of a game they contributed to. If you have not completed your game yet, please make sure to share a teaser trailer to pitch your work to the judges.

Important Notes

• You must submit a completed game or teaser trailer. Single assets and clips will not be considered.
• Please include supporting material with your finished game. The judges need to better understand the process, the challenges and how your game was created.
• Team entries are allowed. Make sure that only one team member submits the project and tag any additional team members as project collaborators.
• Games must not have been released prior to June 2021.
• Successful entries in previous years have included video footage of people playing the games. Other ideas have included screencasts where the team walk you through the platform.
• Ask questions on our Discord Channel if you need help.
• Review Winning Entries from last year that were selected by our judges.
• Watch this video demonstration that shows how to create a perfect entry.

Requirements & Deliveries

• Read the Rules to make sure you are eligible to enter.
• No professional work may be included in your entry.
• Share your process with the judging panel by including supporting material, not only finished work.

Judging Criteria

The judges are looking for artists or teams that have created a game that is not only creatively and technically sound, but is also fun and immersive to play. They are looking for artists or teams with a passion for game design and development. The judges will be considering your overall presentation, technical skills, creative skills, variety of content, and employment potential.
