Get involved with Dare to be Digital

Dare to be Digital is the UK's premier video games development competition which supports the creation of video games prototypes by talented, young developers in order to showcase their talent and prepare them for working in industry. Teams of students studying Arts, Computing and Audio related degree courses at University (usually in their 3rd and 4th years), are given the opportunity to develop a computer game prototype for 10 weeks during the summer in a near to real world development environment, whilst receiving support from industry specialists.To help them along the way the students receive £1700 and help from industry specialists to compete for a place in the final. The finalists of the competition will then go on to compete for cash prizes by pitching their prototype to high profile of judges from the video games business. The 3 winning teams then form the entries to the BAFTA Ones to Watch award which is presented at the BAFTA video games awards.As a result of taking part in Dare, our former students have gone on to secure much sought after jobs in companies such as EA, Lionhead, Disney Interactive Studios, Realtime Worlds and Codemasters to name but a few.
