Applications Now Open For Search For A Star

December 22, 2014January 2, 2015 Dan Dudley 0

We’ve got a new article about the 2015 Search For A Star competition over at gamesindustry.biz, explaining the benefits of taking part in the competition and why it is so important for those wanting to break in to the games industry.

Getting into the games industry as a graduate isn’t easy. Coders with great technical skills often get a shock when they realise those skills are entry level in an industry that demands excellence. It’s tough to prove your ability without experience, to make good industry connections and to get in front of the right people.

To increase the employability of the next generation of games developers, Aadvark Swift has created a huge national initiative of guidance & education with Grads In Games, including a massive careers tour of 64 UK universities. We bring games career advice to those who need it, and give students the chance to learn from top studio representatives.

This campaign culminates in two annual competitions; Search For A Star and Sumo Digital Rising Star. These events offer graduates a unique opportunity to showcase their talents to UK studios.
