Contests

Third-party IP development

From time to time we may develop funding contests with third parties who can bring benefits to SME games developers.  In these instances we will ring fence awards from the fund for a specific purpose, provided it benefits UK interactive digital content developers.

We have already run two such contests with IC Tomorrow; TIGA, EMI, National Geographic, Turbulenz and Antix Labs have partnered with us so far on the contests as content, technology or general support providers.

Details of any current contests will be published here as they become available.
