2025 Global Indie Game Production Competition Receives Until July 14





The Global Indie Game Production Competition (GIGDC)', a global gateway for indie game developers, will begin again.

Sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, hosted by the Korea Creative Content Agency and organized by the Korea Game Developers Association, the event will be held for 15 days from the 30th to July 14. This year's GIGDC is 'Create Game, Hello World! - Bring your imagination to reality and game!Under the slogan ', creative indie game developers will discover new developers in the future game industry.




GIGDC is the nation's most prestigious indie game competition, with more than 300 original works being submitted every year. In the 2025 competition, winners will be selected in a total of five categories, and the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award will be awarded to each category. In particular, this year's prize money has been significantly raised compared to previous years, and a total of 43.2 million won will be awarded.

Participation is open to individuals of middle and high school students or teams of 10 or less. You can choose between the production and planning categories, and if it is not the same work, duplicate entries are allowed in both categories.

Winners will be given substantial growth opportunities beyond prize money or trophies. GIGDC's follow-up support system, 'Winner Competency Enhancement Program', provides various benefits, including training for development and service professionals, custom mentoring, interview video production, and training needed to enter the global game market. The aim is to help promising indie game developers go beyond the simple competition and lay the groundwork for entering the domestic game market and entering the global game market, organizers said.
