Game Concept Challenge

About the competition.

Game Concept Challenge is a competition were game concepts compete against each other. All submissions will be judged by a jury consisting of people from the Game Industry. The winners receive between 10 000 SEK and 100 000 SEK in development support depending on the project. In addition to that they will get guidance to get their concept to a finished product and out on the market.

The goal of this competition is to stimulate the games industry in Karlshamn and to encourage more people to take their ideas from concept to the market as finished products.

The development support is provided by Sparbanken I Karlshamns Näringslivsstiftelse and administrated by Gameport / Blekinge Business Incubator, because of this anyone that wins the competition needs to sign up as part of Gameport. The contracts will be mailed out to all participants after they have submitted an expression of interest.
