Whosegame Opens User Voting in Serious Game Design Competition

The 1st International Whosegame Contest on Serious Games has ended. Whosegame is now polling its users to determine which entries will receive three "audience choice" prizes of €500 each. Beginning in December of last year, Whosegame hosted a contest in which designers were challenged to create a serious game application using on-site game creation tools. Entries were required to focus on one of three topics chosen by Whosegame: "Learning," "Being an eco-citizen," or "Acting against isolation and exclusion." Grand prizes of €5,000, €2,500, and €1,000 will be awarded to the top three titles, as chosen by Whosegame's staff. Whosegame site members have until April 15th to cast their votes for the three €500 prize winners. Competition results will be announced later this month.
