We have the talent to win.

Telefilm Canada is convinced that Canada has the talent and potential to be a world leader in the $20-billion video game market. While the country is already a key international hub for game development, challenges exist for independent game developers to bring original content to market in the multiplatform environment.

Created with industry support and input, Telefilm Canada's Great Canadian Video Game Competition, is a first-of-its-kind initiative. The goals of the Competition are to elevate the commercial profile of Canadian-owned gaming companies and help grow the industry.

Leveraging the Canada New Media Fund and support of the Department of Canadian Heritage, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft and Radical Entertainment, The Great Canadian Video Game Competition is a new opportunity for talented Canadian game developers to build business expertise and commercialize original game content that takes advantage of innovative distribution methods .The Great Canadian Video Game Competition will give independent firms the leverage to attract required financing and distribution opportunities for its intellectual property.
