it is time for the GGDA’s annual Best in Georgia contest! The GGDA is glad to support game jam sites around the state, and each location with more than 20 attendees was invited to submit a team for the competition. Teams get paired with an industry mentor who helps guide them as they work on their games for another month. At that point, the nominated games are judged on the work they have completed since the jam, and the winning team wins several thousands of dollars in industry services - legal advice, marketing support and so on.

Ghost Gaming’s UEFN contest is a great new addition to the Best in Georgia competition. Nominated teams include:

Minutes to Midnight from Augusta University

Spotlight Showdown from GSU

Quarterflame from the KSU site

Masquerade! from the online site
