2020 Life. Love. Game Design Challenge: CULTURE

Jennifer Ann's Group is proud to announce its 13th annual video game design challenge!

Since 2008 Jennifer Ann's Group has challenged video game designers to create prosocial (and violence-free) video games in an effort to prevent violence, especially in adolescent dating relationships.

Through this annual game design competition, video game designers and developers around the world compete to win cash prizes and have their games featured by Jennifer Ann's Group, a nonprofit charity producing, publishing, and researching prosocial video games to stop teen dating violence in memory of Jennifer Ann Crecente.

The theme for the 2020 challenge is culture:

Can you create a video game about culture's influence on dating . . . without using any violence in the game?

PRIZES

First Place: $10,000

Second Place: $2,000

Third Place: $500

Door Prize: $100

REGISTER BY MARCH 20 2020

We believe video games are the most effective tool for exploring complex issues. The winning games from this year's game design challenge should help those who play it better understand the role and impact that one's culture has in shaping beliefs and attitudes about dating and healthy relationships.

The Culture Game Challenge will consist of two rounds. Round One will consist of submitting a proposed game narrative.

Round Two will be limited to 10 Finalists selected from the Round One narrative submissions.

You do not need to be a game developer or game designer in order to become a Finalist - you just need to have a clever idea that you believe would translate well into a compelling video game about culture's influence on dating and relationships!

►Round One submissions due: March 20, 2020◄
