🎮 A great opportunity for young developers is open! As part of the international initiative Global Game Jam NEXT, a game jam has been announced for participants aged 10 to 18.
🌍 The event is part of the world-famous Global Game Jam movement and is implemented in partnership with Games for Change. Participants have a chance not only to create their own game, but also to compete for the main prize of $10,000.
💡 The task is to develop a game on one of the important social topics:
• responsible use of food resources;
• environmental protection;
• road safety.
🎯 The game can be of any genre, but it should not only entertain, but also form useful values in players.
👩💻 Basic conditions for participation:
• a team of 1 to 4 people;
• the use of AI is allowed (with mandatory indication);
• final product – HTML5 game, available in the browser;
• submission deadline – March 30, 2026.
To participate in the competition, you need to submit your game to the jam page on Itch.io (http://itch.io/jam/ggjnext2026) and register it on the G4C website (https://g4cstudentchallenge.secure-platform.com/a/organizations/main/home).
🚀 For students and schoolchildren, this is a great opportunity to try your hand at game development, develop programming, analytics and creative thinking skills, as well as create a product with real social impact.
