How to apply UK
You need to be a team of 5* containing a balance of art and programming students with a team member who will tackle the audio aspects of the game. In addition to this your team must have someone willing to take on the role of team leader in addition to their creative / technical duties. You must be a team of students (postgraduate and / or undergraduate) at a Higher Education Institute (University or Art College).
*Please see country specific headings to check team composition rules for your country.
You can still apply if your whole team is currently in their fourth year and will graduate in summer this year. Your team can have a maximum of 2 people in it who are studying at a Further Education college or who have graduated in the last 2 years but the remaining 3 team members must fit the normal criteria, i.e. are undergraduate or postgraduate students at a University or College of Art.
All teams will be hosted at The University of Abertay, Dundee in Scotland.
