Create a Digital Game on Climate Change & Win 10,000 USD

This is a creative challenge! Games can help inspire curiosity, creativity, collaboration, optimism and problem-solving, all of which are crucial elements in the collective impact to solve the climate challenge. Research shows that the best way to engage people in learning about and responding to climate change is to make it personally relevant. Tapping into values and worldview while also focusing on actionable solutions can empower individuals, communities and organizations to meaningfully address the challenges posed by a changing climate.

Games should focus on scientifically-grounded climate solutions: preventing carbon emissions, preparing for impacts, and/or promoting public awareness and understanding. The winning game will be engaging, entertaining, and empowering, allowing players to learn more about climate change and to better understand what they and others can do to make a difference.

Eligibility
Game designers, educators, students, and scientists of all experience levels are invited to propose a game that encourages diverse audiences, including (but not limited to) college students, decision makers, and lifelong learners, to understand and respond to climate change in their everyday lives.
