The Winner will receive £750 and one-to-one mentoring from professional video games composers. Both the Winner and Highly Commended entries will be featured on the Company’s website.

Entrants must be a current undergraduate or postgraduate student at a university, conservatoire, or art school in the United Kingdom.
