IGF 2010 Gets Record Student Entries Too

igf2010Following the record 306 Main Competition entries, organizers of the 2010 Independent Games Festival have announced 193 Student Showcase entries, up 33% from 2009 and another new record for the event. This year’s IGF Student Showcase entries will be judged by over160 game industry judges, before the student-specific finalists are announced in January of next year.

Ten Student winners will be given full-access Game Developers Conference 2010 tickets to show their games at the festival, as well as $500 for travel. The overall Best Student Game will be awarded $2500 at the IGF ceremony during GDC 2010 in San Francisco next March.

The Student Showcase entries are now available to peruse on the official IGF website, several of which provide playable builds. You’ll have our take on any standouts in due time. Congrats to all participants and good luck going forward.
