FGJ Scholarship: Slavic Game Jam 2025 (PL)
Finnish Game Jam ry is proud to announce our latest jam scholarship! In collaboration with the Slavic Game Jam we are sending a jammer to Warsaw to participate in the upcoming Slavic Game Jam on 1-3 August 2025. To make the trip easy, we are giving away a ticket for the event and reimbursing up to 300EUR for travel expenses. We are looking for prominent jammers willing to represent Finnish game jamming scene and bring back the lessons learned to the community. The candidate for the scholarship is selected based on the applications sent prior to Sunday 29 June 2025 23:59 (GMT +3). A great applicant has participated to at least one FGJ game jam between 2010-2025 and has a broad experience on game jams in Finland (and/or elsewhere) as well as an interesting portfolio of game jam projects. Finnish Game Jam ry will offer a scholarship, which includes: - 1 ticket to the jam - 300 EUR for *travel and accommodation expenses* (will be paid after the trip in return for receipts sent within two weeks of the trip and a travel report – the participant will book their traveling tickets and accommodation on their own.) As a great applicant: - You have experience on game jams and have a record of interesting game jam projects. - You are over 18 years old. - You are a great team player. - You have been participating to at least one Finnish Game Jam event between 2010-2025. The applicant will commit to: - Travel to and participate in the Slavic Game Jam as part of a game jam team. - Write a short travel report (including photos) of the jam to be published at the Finnish Game Jam website (see an example here: http://www.finnishgamejam.com/jam-report-train-jam-2016/), latest 2 weeks after the event. Would be great if the report talked about cultural differences and similarities of the jamming cultures. - Cover the rest of the travel and accommodation costs. The applicants are notified via email latest on the 6 July, and the selected candidate is required to confirm their participation within two days from the notification, after which the scholarship is handed to the next in line.
