We’d like to invite you to pitch your startup idea for the “Who’s Got Game?” contest coming up at our GamesBeat@GDC conference in March.
This is our second annual Who’s Got Game contest, a contest that highlights the best game startup. We’ll choose five to seven finalists who will present live on stage at the conference, which takes place in San Francisco on March 10. Those finalists will be able to pitch their company to our audience of media, entrepreneurs, investors and industry executives.
An all-star panel of judges will be selecting the most promising startup, based on the following criteria:
» freshness
» innovation
» potential for business success.
The requirements are that the entrant be a startup company in the game space. Publicly traded or large, well-known private companies are not eligible.
Last year’s winner was Exponential Entertainment, which went on to launch both web site and iPhone games in the casual entertainment space. We’ll be announcing a panel of judges shortly.
The winner will be announced at GamesBeat. We’ll be introducing the winning company to game investors in our network and will cover the company in a blog post.
Deadline for submission is Friday, February 26 at 5:00pm Pacific Standard Time.
We want to thank our GamesBeat event sponsors, Georgia Economic Development Agency, Hi5 and PlaySpan for their generous support. And, it’s not too late to get involved, since there are still some sponsorship opportunities available. Please contact sponsors@venturebeat.com for more information.
