Overview

Playing games help us grow, think, and find solutions to problems. The Gaming Contest calls for all entries about playing games and projects that pay tribute to your favorite games. Video game guides, easter egg tips, tabletop games, and tribute projects — if it’s inspired by a game you love to play, it's eligible for this contest!

Prizes include an Apple iPad Mini, Canon Powershot camera, cat ear headphones, and more. Share your tips and tricks, original games, and other game-related projects to win. "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” - Plato
