Introduction
The SGS&C invites contestants to submit their serious game entries, which should be oriented not just towards entertainment but also include educational, training, simulation, defense, medical rehabilitation, or any real-world applicable skill development. Submission details including key dates are available on the SGS&C homepage.
Participation & Challenge Expectations
Enter the SGS&C to showcase your serious game that teaches real-world skills. Submissions open from June 17 to August 23.
Submission Guidelines
All entries must adhere to the official SGS&C rules as detailed in the SGS&C Official Rules. Contestants should ensure they’re available and eligible to attend the conference*. Winners from partner showcases like SGSCA at the Australasian Simulation Congress and SGSCE at DSET are automatically granted a finalist entry as part of our international collaboration initiative, but must still complete the submission process and provide the requested game access and supporting materials for evaluation.
*Youth entrants between the ages of 12 and 18, as of the first day of the conference, should see the SGS&C rules for chaperone requirements. International Entrants must additionally adhere to the guidelines provided by the National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA) for attendance and participation at the Conference.

Evaluation & Selection Process
After the closure of the submission period, the SGS&C Planning Committee undertakes a downselect process to pick finalists. Those selected will be notified and should prepare to attend the I/ITSEC event. A distinguished panel will evaluate the entries and determine the winners in each category.
