Entrants pick a speciality from code, character art, environmental art, animation, and new this year – VFX, and experience a three-stage process designed by members of the industry to mimic a standard recruitment process.

What’s up for grabs?

• Many entrants use the sought-after skills and portfolios they develop to secure a job in the games industry upon graduation.
