The event

The event can be seen as consisting of four separate parts (spanning over multiple days);

  • Public presentation of student projects to an international jury of developers, designers, academics, journalists etc.
  • Followed by The Gotland Game Conference + showfloor, where all student games are made available to the jury and general audience.
  • The conference + show floor is roughly [http://game.speldesign.uu.se/blog/gotland-game-conference-2011/ modeled after the Game Developers Conference], but features only a single track of lectures.
  • The Award Ceremony
  • The GGC Party where students, jury and faculty celebrate their work and end of the school year.
