A record 306 entries were submitted to the Independent Games Festival 2010 main competition. 306! This past year saw 224 entries which was the first time the total ever broke 200, so to jump nearly 100 entries in only a year is quite exciting. The interest in both creating and playing indie’s is clearly on the rise.

These submissions will be checked and distributed to 150 judges–also the most ever–and the finalists will be announced at some point in January. The winners will be announced at the award show taking place at IGF 2010 in San Francisco March 9-13.

Many of the titles submitted actually have content to download and try out for those interested in seeing the what this year’s batch has to offer. Congratulations and best of luck to all the entrants!
