WHAT YOU NEED TO ENTER
BASIC TERMS
Please read our Terms carefully. You will be required to accept these terms prior to entering work on the submission site.
Fees are $45.00 from April 1 – April 30 and $65.00 from May 1 – May 31. Submissions close May 31, 2015.
IMPORTANT! Once our panel of expert game judges choose 5 nominees, the public will vote on their favorite game using videos you provide. This is for promotional purposes only, as our panel of judges will still choose a winner in this category. Voting will provide an opportunity for more people to see your work. We will NOT require you to make your game available to the public for free; we will promote links to download your games (free or paid) during voting. Should you become a nominee, we will ask for a game trailer, game play, or a video you create to represent your game (these videos will also be used as segments during the live broadcast). Learn more about our process.
