Game Republic Student Showcase 2010
The Game Republic Student Showcase will return on Tuesday 25th May 2010 at the University of Huddersfield. The Showcase is an amazing opportunity for final-year and postgraduate games course students from any higher education establishment in Yorkshire & Humber to showcase their work to the biggest developers in the region including Team17, Rockstar Leeds, Sumo Digital and Tuna.Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in four categories: the Game Design, Game Technology, Game Art and Best Team - the latter also providing a work placement for the winning team, which in 2009 resulted in placements and full-time employment at Rockstar Leeds for two University of Huddersfield graduates. The 2010 event will also introduce a new category - The Merit Award - for a team or individual that has demonstrated particularly skill and expertise in any field of games development.
The Game Republic Student Showcase 2009 was held at Sheffield Hallam University on Tuesday 5th May 2009. More than 70 students from seven Yorkshire and Humber universities and colleges showed 23 different games course projects.

Game Republic Student Showcase 2010Tuesday 25th May 2010, University of Huddersfield
The Game Republic Student Showcase will return on Tuesday 25th May at the University of Huddersfield. The Student Showcase is a yearly event that gives all final-year and postgraduate games students from Yorkshire and Humber a fantastic opportunity to put their coursework in front of the region's games companies - and hopefully win a prize and a work placement.
Last year's Student Showcase was held at Sheffield Hallam University, and featured over 70 students and 23 projects. The winners of the Best Team award - the Full Scale War team from the University of Huddersfield - were given a work placement at Rockstar Leeds, which resulted in two full-time jobs.
