verybigindiepitch_logo_x300The Very Big Indie Pitch is a mammoth developer pitching competition open to all types of independent developers of mobile, wearables, VR, or handheld games, wherever they are based.

At the event, made possible by sponsors Corona Labs, Chillingo and Nvidia, a host of leading mobile game journalists will be gathered together with partner judges to run the rule over a selection of pre-filtered games.

The developers are allowed 4 minutes (3 mins pitch, 1 min Q&A) to pitch to each journalist table in a ‘speed dating’ style. Once everyone has pitched, the journos confer and pick the finalists who progress through to Day 2, during which they can showcase their game to PGC delegates who then vote for their favourite. The top three teams are then announced on stage at the end of PG Connects.

Aside from the chance to get their game in front of the leading media influencers and potential publisher partners, this VERY Big Indie Pitch also rewards the top developers with a share of a promotional prize package worth $7,000.

There is also an additional prize, courtesy of our sponsor Corona Labs, who would like to offer the following to each of the top 3 teams:

One free year enterprise license for Corona.

This has a monetary value of $2,400.00 USD. You can view information on the product here. Each of the top 3 teams would get a licence (so, three prizes in total).
