Reminder: Monday is the last day to submit your game for IGF 2020!

Hey indies, don't delay: The submission deadline for the 2020 Independent Games Festival Main Competition is this coming Monday, September 30th at 11:59 PM Pacific!

You've got until then to take advantage of the fact that organizers are accepting submissions for the 2020 Independent Games Festival, which will take place during GDC 2020 next March.

While submissions close on Monday, expect the finalists to be announced early next year. Those selected as finalists will receive a stipend and their games will be playable in the IGF Pavilion on the GDC 2020 Expo Floor. Plus, they'll compete for over $20,000 in prizes (in addition to the $30,000 being distributed via stipends) in the high-profile Independent Games Festival Awards.

Winners will be announced onstage during the awards, which take place on Wednesday night of GDC week (March 16th through the 20th) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, with the IGF Pavilion open from March 16th-18th, and the sister Independent Games Summit event taking place on March 16th and 17th.
