\nThe jury represents the most hard-working participants at the Gotland Game Conference (save for our students, natch<\/em>). Jurors travel from around the globe to hear our students\u2019 presentations a day before the conference even starts, and to spend the better part of a week playing all of the student productions on the show floor.<\/p>\n

    Names in bold<\/strong> are alumni from this education \u2013 welcome back! \ud83d\ude00<\/small><\/p>\n

    Each member brings their own set of experience and expertise, and share that insight directly with the students at the GGC. We have academia and graphics solidly represented now, so the next bunch of seats are reserved primarily for programmers<\/strong>, HR<\/strong> and the nebulous “production<\/strong>“-people. There’s is of course always room, too, for people with investment or recruitment needs!<\/p>\n

    Feel like that’s you? Fill in the application<\/a> and maybe we’ll see you in Visby in June! <\/p>\n\n\t\t
