Open to all studios, with special preference for hidden object and mobile - notably Android - games, submissions must consist of a playable demo, and file sizes are limited to 200MB.
"To me, it's all about providing opportunity and nurturing talent," says founder and CEO, George Donovan.
"Currently we work with international development studios, and these collaborative partnerships have allowed Gogii and their partners to benefit and grow. We're looking to continue doing that and hoping to find fresh new talent with this contest."
Find the prizeRunning from May 16 until July 15, the winner will be announced at the Casual Connect conference held in Seattle on July 19.
Along with the C$100,000 cash or publishing contract, Gogii is offering additional value to the winner through a collaborative development process, preferred royalty rates and the opportunity to distribute worldwide in multiple languages and on multiple platforms.
