Back to Basics: Consent

2017 Life.Love. Game Design Challenge

Jennifer Ann's Group is proud to announce its 10th annual video game design challenge. Since 2008 we have been challenging game designers to create serious video games about teen dating violence. Through our annual competition, game designers from around the world win cash prizes and have their games featured by Jennifer Ann's Group, a nonprofit charity using games and technology to prevent abusive dating relationships.

Back to Basics: Consent

The purpose of this year's video game design challenge is a bit different: there's a need to go "back to basics" - and so we're challenging you to create a serious video game demonstrating consent. Your game will demonstrate consent and help to foster an appreciation of its importance in society. We believe video games are the most effective tool for exploring complex issues and the winning game will help others better understand consent.
