The BAFTA Crew Games 2014 programme is looking to recruit games professionals from across the UK to benefit from access to top industry talent and an exclusive programme of masterclasses and livestreamed Q&As featuring BAFTA award-winners and nominees. Applications are now open at http://bit.ly/BAFTACrewGames.
In partnership with the Wellcome Trust, BAFTA Crew Games masterclasses will offer participants the opportunity to engage with scientists and other researchers who have worked with the games industry and will make new connections through events aimed at exploring sources of inspiration for game design.
The BAFTA Crew Games programme is open to game practitioners who have at least two years professional experience and are actively making a creative contribution to games produced and/or distributed in the UK. Participants will be selected by a jury including heads of departments from BAFTA-nominated and award-winning games titles, chaired by a representative of BAFTA’s Games Committee. The deadline for applications is Monday 17 November 2014 at midday.
