Roll up. Roll up. OpenGameCity is officially open.

So we’re trying something new with GameCity5.

This year we’re giving the people who care about GameCity, videogame culture and play some of the awesome responsibilities that come with creating and hosting events. To achieve this, we’ve expanded the festival platform into OpenGameCity. Think of it as a platform where your idea/project/performance/cake/talking dog can be seen by a diverse audience in one of Nottingham’s finest venues or public spaces.

Your ideas and subsequently your events will occupy the same spaces and status as events programmed by the GameCity team. Isn’t that exciting.

There’s a really easy submission process over on the official OpenGameCity page. Everything is explained pretty thoroughly in the form of a nifty slideshow and a more in-depth downloadable specification document. All we need to know is a bit about you and your amazing ideas which you can send to us via a delightful form.

Please help us out and forward OpenGameCity details to anyone you know who does interesting things and would like to be part of something brilliant.

If you have any questions get in touch at open@gamecity.org
