A second Protozone during the nocturne!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ProtoZone is back for its 10\u1d57\u02b0 edition<\/strong>, with the same goal as always: showcasing brand new game prototypes<\/strong>, encouraging exciting encounters, and spreading lots of gaming energy!
16 game designers<\/strong> will be selected to present their game to the public throughout the weekend.
It\u2019s a great opportunity to share your universe, test your creation, gather feedback\u2026 and maybe win a prize!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To participate, submit your application via the online form between April 3<\/strong> and May 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A selection committee composed of people from the gaming world (designers, professionals, association members, etc.) will choose the 16 prototypes<\/strong> that will take part in ProtoZone 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results will be announced around July 1\u02e2\u1d57<\/strong>, giving the committee time to deliberate carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two prizes to be won!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Awarded by the BGF public, this prize goes to the most appreciated prototype of the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd35 The Jury Prize<\/strong>

All selected prototypes can also apply for the MeepleMaker grant<\/strong>, proposed by OpenFab-GameLab<\/strong>, which offers prototyping support in a Brussels fablab dedicated to game creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I find the rules?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
