What Is Indie Prize?
Indie Prize is a great opportunity for indie developers. A scholarship designed specifically for indie developers, the goal of Indie Prize is to give indie developers from all over the world a chance to meet, talk about their experiences and showcase their games to each other and with other game industry professionals.

What You Need to Apply
Before anything else, all applicants must be able to attend Casual Connect USA! As said above, there are limited spots, so be sure to apply as soon as possible!
Another important thing developers should know: in order to apply, your game MUST be playable. The judges have to be able to evaluate your game in more than concept form!
Finally, the independence of the development team is also necessary. That means the development studio must be majority owned by the development team, meaning fewer than 50 percent of the company has been sold to outside investors! Along those lines, at least 50 percent of the submitted game IP must to be owned by the development team.
If an application is accepted, you will receive an email confirming your team’s slot at Indie Prize USA! Remember to respond to the confirmation email within 72 hours to confirm your spot!
