The IGDA Holiday Cheer Hackathon is coming soon! Join us from December 18th – January 3rd to share our well wishes and traditions from all around the world.

This is a two week hackathon will provide support and community to all developers who may be unable to see their friends and family during this holiday season. We will host multiple social and educational events during this period, while everyone will be encouraged to work together on projects that will span from holiday cards and songs to stories and, of course, games!

This hackathon will also celebrate the diverse backgrounds, locations, and traditions of the IGDA membership, and it is currently supported by Teradici, Dell, PlayEveryWare, HIVE – Turku Game Hub, Lucien Parsons, The GameHERs, Unity, Odin Law and Media, Backtrace, and Leyline.

Sponsorships for this event start at only $500 to encourage community support and participation, please review this deck if you are interested in providing your support to game developers during this challenging holiday season.

If you would like to contribute to the Holiday Cheer Hackathon by giving a talk, organizing an event, or sharing your own holiday traditions, please let us know! Stay tuned for more updates as we schedule the events of the hackathon.
