I haven’t dropped out of Script Frenzy, don’t worry – I’ve just been busy. Ah, exams.

But! A little birdy told me about an exciting opportunity for aspiring Canadian game designers. The deadline is April 28th, so get in there fast if you’re going to participate. The long and the short of it is that the National Screen Institute (with Zeroes 2 Heroes and Telefilm Canada) is offering an opportunity to get your foot in the door of the gaming industry. The prize for selected applicants involves a week-long bootcamp in Vancouver, and the possibility of an internship with a game studio later on.

From their FAQ .pdf:

“The fundamental principle of NSI playWRITE is to create customized professional and project development opportunities for each applicant and their script ideas.”
