How to apply to Dare - Scandinavia
UPDATE: Information relating to Dare 2011 for teams from this region will be posted to the site early next year. Please check back again then.
You need to be a team of 4 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) in Scandinavia (Norway, Denmark or Sweden). The one successful international team after the regional selection event held at NITH, Norway, will take part at our hosting centre in Dundee, Scotland, UK.
You can still apply if your whole team is currently in their fourth year and will graduate in 2010. Your team can have a maximum of 1 person in it who is studying at a Further Education college or who has 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 within one of the regions mentioned above.
Please note you cannot enter or take part Dare if you have taken part before, however you can enter if you have previously applied to Dare but were unsuccessful in securing a place (this includes if you got through to the interview stage but were unsuccessful in getting a place).
Once you have a complete team, complete the team application form on this site (available early 2010) by the closing date of midnight 28th March 2010.
