UK Games Talent and Finance CIC, the organisation behind both the UK Games Fund and Tranzfuser projects, is looking for games industry experts and professionals to sign up as application reviewers.
UK Games Fund reviewers will be tasked with evaluating a number of applications in-line with the criteria set out to applicants.
Tranzfuser reviewers will be asked to do the same, but can in addition participate in the ongoing review of teams as the competition progresses over the summer.
Interested parties are welcome to sign up as External Reviewers to both projects.
We are looking for individuals with a range of skills and experience to join our expert review panels. If you have a solid background in games development (any discipline), publishing, funding, business growth or investment then we’d like to hear from you.
Mike Enoch, Head of Account Management, from UK Games Talent and Finance Community Interest Company said:
“Becoming a reviewer for either of these projects is a fantastic opportunity to give something back to the UK games development community, and have a hand in selecting the best projects and teams as they embark on the next stage of their journey towards being future leaders and innovators within the creative industries.
“It’s a chance to help identify top teams and projects, so that we can deliver targeted support for the UK games industry and the games talent pipeline.”
