The grant will be selected from the pool of applicants by our panel of judges. The winning applicant will be notified via email in early January 2026. The winner will then be announced over social media. The announcement will include the studio / developer name. Specific project names will not be revealed unless explicitly agreed upon by both parties.

The winner will also be required to contribute to a case study with Alpha Games upon game release. This case study can then be included in our marketing collateral over social media or in our portfolio.

We understand the complexities of game development. As such, please rest assured that we will not share any game specifics, including title, gameplay or content, before game release, unless explicitly agreed upon by both parties.
