AT&T has named six finalists for its $50,000 contest to highlight women in game development. It’s part of the company’s effort to be an ally to women in an industry where they are underrepresented.

On December 2, the finalists in the AT&T Unlocked Games event will pitch their in-development games to a judging panel of industry experts, who will select a grand prize winner. The winner among the female-led teams will be announced sometime after a livestream hosted by streamers Anne Munition and Bnans. The show will air on Eleague’s Twitch and AT&T’s Twitter account on December 2 at 6 p.m. Pacific.
