Projects in the early stages of development are also welcome to apply. The key factors are the project's potential, the team's motivation, and a willingness to work intensively on the game throughout the program.

Participant Selection

A maximum of 8 teams will be selected for the program. Submitted projects will be evaluated by an expert jury consisting of members of the organizing team and selected mentors.
