Digital Art Design Contest: Level Up Our World - Deadline Extended to 23 Sept
In collaboration with the Association of Pacific Rim Universities Asia (APRU), we challenge students of the Asia Pacific Rim to showcase their digital art skills to influence the gaming industry. Students are invited to design a cast of characters and/or game bosses for their original game idea which reflect students’ vision to shape an equitable, sustainable, and inclusive world.
With 2.7 billion people playing games globally, the gaming sector has the potential to cut across geography, demography and generations for the good of society. Recent gaming trends have introduced new and diverse characters in the gameplay and we encourage students, as the future leaders of the industry, to create endless possibilities to level up our world.
