Search For A Star & Rising Star presented by Rockstar Games 2022: The Winners

April 27, 2022May 16, 2022 Harry Stainer 0

Starting with 1200 registered students, this year’s Search for A Star & Rising Star game development challenges have once again been the largest we’ve ever seen!

Each challenge tasks students with completing a game project to an industry brief, either in games programming, environment art, character art, animation or VFX. Projects are reviewed by our team of industry assessors, with the highest scoring being selected as finalists.

These finalists faced an interview panel of industry professionals from leading studios, speaking to them about their game development skills as well as their career aspirations.

With the results revealed last week during our finals day event, we’re very happy to confirm all of this year’s category winners across both Search For A Star & Rising Star.

We’ll be talking in more detail over the next few weeks about all of our winners, their work and what our judges had to say during their interviews!
