The competition will be judged by an elite group of industry veterans:

The Student Game Award will identify five nominees to attend The Game Awards in Los Angeles on December 6, and one winner will be selected from the group to be honored live during The Game Awards broadcast.
Last year's winners were from Swinburne University in Australia, who developed stylised platformer Level Squared.
