The I/ITSEC Serious Games Showcase and Challenge submission deadline has been extended. I showed Polyglot Cubed at the conference in 2009 and found it very useful. The showcase is well attended and the organizers are very supportive of serious games usage. The conference’s general focus is still military and training applications, but the SGS showcase is more inclusive. Here’s the basic info:

The Challenge is open to a wide range of contestants; categories include student, government, and business. Awards will be provided to top contestants in those categories. Entered games can address any training objective pertinent to High School age or older audiences. All entries will be judged in four primary areas: Use of Gaming Characteristics, Solution to a Stated Problem; Playability/Usability; and Technical Quality. For the purpose of the Challenge, entries will be considered a serious game if they have gaming attributes, involve an assigned challenge, and employ some form of positive and/or negative reward system.
