The assessments have been received back and we have our finalists selection for this year’s Search For A Star and Rising Star challenges in Environment Art! This year’s environment challenges also incorporated a vehicle art option produced alongside our partners at Cloud Imperium Games, and we’re very pleased to see two of these vehicle projects launch their creators into the finals!

We’ll be interviewing all the finalists and revealing the winners of this year’s challenges as part of our Search For A Star finals event, taking place on April 13th in Sheffield.

We’ve had a range of fantastic submissions this year, so let’s take a look at our finalists for 2023!
