We're thrilled to share that for a second year, we've joined forces with Google Play Change the Game to challenge teens to use their creativity and skills to develop a game idea, and to take their first step towards change.

We're calling on the next generation of game-makers to share their mobile game design ideas and what they want to see for the future of gaming.

The Grand Prize Winner will receive a $15,000 college scholarship and $15,000 donation to their school or community center’s technology program. The five finalists will have their game made in partnership with Girls Make Games, and launched on the Google Play Store for everyone to play. Winners also get a VIP trip to showcase their game design at a special event, receive mentorship from leaders in the industry, and join the celebration of women in gaming.
