📍 Location: Arts West Forum Theatre (Opening and Closing Ceremony will both take place in Forum Theatre)

The theme of the competition will be announced at the opening ceremony 🎊! Until then, keep your eyes peeled for announcements on our discord server 👀 where you can vote for the theme!

All contestants are welcome to join us on campus over the weekend for in-person collaboration + receiving feedback 👯‍♀️. We encourage you to come by to play each others games 🎮!

If you have no experience in game dev, don’t stress 😮‍💨! We’ll be hosting workshops leading up to the event that will arm you with all the fundamentals you need to get started 🦾. Stay on the lookout for announcements in the very near future!

Spots are capped so do grab your tix before they’re all gone! We look forward to seeing you all 💙
