Online Flash game portal Whosegame is sponsoring a serious game creation contest. The competition is open to all new and current members of the Whosegame community, who are challenged to design a serious game title using on-site game creation tools. Contestants are invited to create as many serious games as desired, provided that all entries address one of the following three topics:

1 – Learning: this category consists in creating a serious game enabling the player to improve his knowledge in the telecommunications field. It can include aspects linked to history, sciences, technologies, or current products and services. 2 – Being an eco-citizen: this category consists in creating a serious game illustrating the relevance of using technologies, products or services linked to telecommunications to enable the public to act as an eco-citizen. 3 – Acting against isolation and exclusion: this category consists in creating a serious game illustrating how telecommunications technologies, products and services can participate in decreasing the isolation and exclusion of some parts of the population

Cash prizes of €5,000, €2,500, and €1,000 will be awarded to first, second, and third place winners in a cross-category competition, as determined by a Whosegame jury selection. Three additional prizes of €500 will be available within each topic, with winners decided by a vote among Whosegame members. The contest entry deadline is March 31st, 2009.
