In partnership with Raw Thrills, the arcade entertainment company, this competition will offer $90,000 in prizes, celebrate video games, and encourage the bright creative future of the industry in the hands of the next generation, said Gordon Bellamy, CEO of GGP and a professor USC’s Interactive Media & Games Division, in an interview with GamesBeat. In addition to launching this exciting new initiative at GDC, GGP will have a week-long showcase of event programming, including anchoring the new GDC Nights — with an open networking mixer for GGP Scholars, CYSTEM scholars and GDC attendees on Monday, and a fireside chat featuring Amir Satvat and additional games industry HR veterans on Thursday — as well as hosting events such as the second annual Zero Proof Tabletop Games Night on Tuesday and the 16th annual Kiki at DNA Lounge on Wednesday. Recognizing that great talent is everywhere, GGP outreaches to everyone, including underestimated groups, in order to bridge the rising generation of industry leaders into video games.
