CRITERIA AND REQUIREMENTS
Projects will be selected to pitch, & evaluated for prizes, based on:
Innovative & interesting concept & approach
Clearly defined objective(s) & rules, understood in brief & in detail
Creative approach to artwork, production values, etc.
Fun & sense of theme/purpose, i.e. Why should anyone play this game?
We welcome game projects of all kinds: we're open to game apps, tabletop games, experiential games, video games or concepts that are story-driven, abstract, strategy-based, games of chance, individual player, multi-player There are no restrictions on specific content or form, so long as it's engaging, clear to understand, & (of course!) has a strong element of fun.
Ideally, projects should be in development & close to complete, but not yet finished. Submissions must send supporting materials to help selection committee (and, if selected, our jury & audience) visualize your projects & understand the rules/mechanics of the game in the most direct terms possible. We can accept concept artwork, pitch decks, visual treatments, & even demos if accessible online. We CANNOT accept in-person deliveries of materials.
While both our selection committee & our jury will keep an eye out for noteworthy, clean production values & artwork (where applicable), submissions need not be completely polished at this stage. Ultimately, fun content, creativity, & clearly defined mechanics are the top criteria.
If selected, projects will be asked to prepare a short, visual pitch deck for the Pitch Night. Pitch decks may include audio samples & video clips/trailer. All pitches must be five minutes in length.
