The Games for Change Annual Festival is the largest gaming event in New York City and the only international event uniting creators of games for change, the public, civil society, academia, the gaming industry, and the media. The event will be held June 20-22 in New York City.

Entry fee for the festival ranges from US$60 to US$520, depending on your demographic (student, nonprofit, or general public) and preferred type of access (pre-festival summit, the festival, or access to all events).

Festival highlights include Al Gore’s keynote speech, the Award Gala, and the Demo Spotlight.

  • The Festival Awards recognize excellence in games that address current pressing social issues. The four  categories are: Direct Impact, Learning & Education, Transmedia, and the Knight News Award, which focuses on news games.
  • The Demo Spotlight is an opportunity for game developers to present their projects to an open panel of designers and funders on the festival’s main stage.
