The PoLAR Partnership, Autodesk, and Games for Change (G4C) will award a prize of $10,000 USD to one winner to create a digital game that engages players to understand their role in addressing climate change.
Submit online here.
The design challenge invites game designers, educators, students, and scientists of all experience levels 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.
Four finalists will receive free travel and accommodations to present to the jury, live, on stage at the Games for Change festival in New York City from June 23 to 24, along with Festival passes from Games for Change. One winner will receive a $10,000 prize to support development of the game.
Game concepts should target audiences with varying levels of game play experience and educate players to take action in the real world. No professional game development experience necessary to submit an entry.
