For the third consecutive year, the Service des affaires culturelles (SERAC) is launching a call for projects in the field of video games. With an amount of 50’000 CHF, the support is dedicated to both the creation and the production of games.
The projects applying must stand out for their originality and technical innovation, their artistic creativity (game design, graphic/sound design, storytelling), their technical architecture, their marketing strategy and their economic development potential. Only entities with a legal personality or registered as a legal entity, and having their headquarters in the canton of Vaud, can submit a file.
