Dare to be Digital seeking entries

Posted Feb 26, 2007 at 2:32PM by QJ Staff Listed in: News Tags: Codemasters, Dare to be Digital, Electronic Arts, Rockstar North

Dare to be Digital is one of the premier computer design competitions in the UK. Currently in its season, the organizers are looking for entries from Scottish and Irish university students.

Last year's winners are now working with industry big shots such as Codemasters, BBC Scotland, Rockstar North, Electronic Arts UK, and Electronic Arts Shanghai.

This year's contest, moreover, is being hosted by the Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland as well as Queen's University in Belfast. Four teams from Scotland will be selected to stay in Abertay while another four teams (mostly coming from the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland) will be accommodated in Queen's.

All contestants will be given full nine weeks to design and build a fully functioning prototype of a videogame. The winner will be announced sometime in August. Lastly, Dare to be Digital organizers are considering to establish a host location in England, or to host English teams in Dundee.
