Independent Games Festival is now taking submissions for GDC 2018

The 20th annual Independent Games Festival is now accepting submissions from indie developers until October 2. Finalists will be chosen in early January 2018 and will earn space on the Game Developers Conference floor to demo their games. They’ll also get a chance to win prizes such as the $30,000 Seumas McNally Grand Prize.

IGF has been a fixture at the yearly GDC event. Over 26,000 people attended last year’s GDC, which is known for its panels, lectures, and tutorials. Indie games have a noticeable presence at GDC. In addition to the IGF every year, the Indie Megabooth also has a spot that showcases games from outside mainstream publishers. GDC also hosts the Independent Games Summit, a special track with presentations and round tables with indie developers.
