The Netherlands Game Awards (NGA) is a yearly competition in Lebanon for the best new digital game.
In 2013, AltCity is working with some exciting partners on this, including Lamba Labs Beirut Hackerspace, GeekExpress, Bader Young Entrepreneurs Program, Fovea, Game Cooks, Wixel Studios, some departments at several universities in Lebanon, plus IJsfontein (a Dutch game company) and of course the Netherlands Embassy in Beirut.
So come one, come all. Developers, designers, coders, illustrators, storytellers, gamers– and yes, history majors and physicists, psychologists and biochemists — anyone who’s ever dreamed of making a digital game, because it takes all kinds of backgrounds, perspectives, and expertise to make something truly innovative.
