1. The showcase is open to teams of students from Orange County and surrounding-area colleges and universities.
2. Student games will be judged by a panel of game industry leaders.
3. Games can be in any genre and run on any hardware and software platform (“E” or “T” rated only!).
• submissions will be judged based on originality, creativity and execution -- and on whether they are commercially viable
• size, complexity, or amount of effort put into the project will not be primary considerations (in other words, there's no fundamental advantage to a project that has had a two-year head start)
• gameplay for one level of the game must be demonstrable by a team member during the live presentations on the day of the event
4. Non-Professional Participation: at least two thirds of team members must be currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate students at participating colleges and universities.
5. Grand Prize is the Student Game Cup – to reside at the winning team’s university until the following year.
6. Legal rights:
• teams retain all intellectual property rights to their games.
• if a game uses any non-original content (code, images, sound, music, etc.), attribution must be given in-game and on the one-pager, and permission must have been acquired if necessary.
• proof of permission(s) will be checked for the winning entries, so availability of such documentation is critical
• failure to obtain permission or present evidence of permission will result in disqualification of the submission
