Search for a Star is an annual student-only gamedev challenge run by Grads In Games. It guides students to follow an industry brief, create a key portfolio piece and ultimately help them to get a job.
We are currently looking for experienced games professionals who can be a part of our assessment team in February. You’d be asked to review and provide feedback on as many or as few student projects as you have time for between January 25th and March 1st.
Each project takes roughly 30 mins to assess and provide feedback for, so your time commitment can be as small or large as you want it to be! Your knowledge and expertise are vital and your feedback will prove to be incredibly important for the students’ development.
