The Game Development World Championship, or GDWC for short, is a global open competition for game developers.
Our goal is to celebrate awesome games and the developers behind them. We aim to highlight new and rising talents & teams and work tirelessly to create new opportunities for success for our participants.
Through our 10-year history, GDWC has had over 39,000 developers participate from 145 different countries and we've given out over $1,000,000 worth of prizes and giveaways.
The Championship is open for everyone interested. Doesn't matter if you're a professional, hobbyist, student, or just curious about game development.
If you've got a game, you're invited to join and submit it!
There are no participation fees or other fees for competing in the Championship.
This way we can ensure that everyone interested can join and it won't be a competition between budgets.
We aim to highlight and showcase the participating games throughout the Championship.
Winners earn bragging rights and awesome prizes provided by our sponsors and partners.
