Grant Description

The Emerging Gamemakers Fund provides up to $30,000 to support Australian independent gamemakers—both emerging and established—who are exploring creative and artistic experimentation. Running from 2023/24 to 2026/27, the fund targets the development of prototypes or micro-scale games. It emphasises diversity, inclusion, and equity, seeking to empower a broad spectrum of voices in the game development industry and encourage authentic storytelling.
