October 1 and 15, 2007, will mark the final dates for entry into next year’s Independent Games Festival. The event will run from February 20-22, 2007, in San Francisco, CA, and the deadlines are for the main competition and the student competition, respectively.
IGF’s friendly reminder came with the announcement that Kongregate, the popular Flash game site, will be entering the top ten games of 2007 (as voted by the players) into IGF’s “Best Web Game” free of charge. OTEE will also be sponsoring a competition for developers who use Unity to make their web browser games; the top five contestants in this competition will also be entered into the IGF’s “Best Web Game” category at no cost.
With CBS’s recent coverage of the World Series of Video Games, one might hope that by February 2008 we might be treated to televised coverage of the Independent Games Festival as well. Read: if you are a TV exec, get on this.
