Calling all budding game designers! Our friends at BAFTA contacted us with recently information about an exciting new competition they are running and we thought you might be interested....



BAFTA Young Game Designers
Want to design your own video game, learn from the professionals and be in with
a chance to win some utterly amazing prizes? Then BAFTA Young Game Designers is for you!

How to Enter
BAFTA Young Game Designers is an exciting new competition for 11-16 year olds. Working in a team of three, you and two friends get creative and plan, write and illustrate your idea for a new video game.

To enter visit http://www.bafta.org/ygd . The website is packed full of useful stuff to help you, including a step-by-step guide to games design, information about free workshops around the UK, and top tips from some of the big names in UK video game design.

And for all you keen Harry potter fans out there, look out for Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) who will be on the panel of judges for the competition!

The Prize
The prize includes work experience with professional game designers at Bright Light, an EA studio, and a working prototype of the winning entry developed by the games boffins at Abertay University!

The winning team will be announced at the glittering EA British Academy Children's Awards in London in November.
