Submit to the Game Garden!
Video Games
It's free to submit your game to the Game Garden. Our showcase will
be curated by the Game Garden team and a selection of trusted
local developers. When evaluating game submissions, here are some
criteria we'll be looking for:
-
Made in and Around Vancouver
The Game Garden is first and foremost a showcase of the talent
we have right here in our community. All games must be primarily
developed in British Columbia.
-
Teams from Diverse Backgrounds
We want the Game Garden to be a showcase of the many different
people and cultures that make up the city of Vancouver. Teams
from under-represented backgrounds will be prioritized in our
curation.
-
A Range of Experiences
We want to showcase games of many kinds. Our final showcase will
exhibit a range of games from the largest and most notable in
our community to the smallest and strangest. We also want to
ensure that there's a variety of different genres so that any
guest can find something for them in the Game Garden.
-
Conversation Starters
We prioritize titles that present better in person than on a
faceless digital store page. We're interested in multiplayer
games, relaxing explorable spaces, and unconventional game
mechanics.
Ready to submit? You'll need a screenshot, a video or game
build, and about 10 minutes to fill out the info on our form.
We're excited to receive your submission here:

Artist Alley
In addition to games, this year we’re also hosting an artist alley
featuring local artists and illustrators.
-
Artists in Gaming
Our gallery theme this year is Artists in Gaming. This theme
includes artists who can showcase their existing work in games,
independent games artists, or those with personal works that are
applicable to game development. Whether you want to sell or
simply showcase to the public, tabling is free!
-
Local Creators
We want to spotlight artists working in Canada, particularly
British Columbia.
-
Inspired by Video Games
While not mandatory, we’ll be looking for artwork that is
inspired by and resonates with video game aesthetics so that
it fits in well with our selection of video games.
