PREMIO ARCHIMEDE 2025<\/b>, organized by studiogiochi, is focused on the design of unpublished board games.<\/p>\n
The competition, dedicated to the great Alex Randolph<\/b> who was its president for the first 7 editions, has so far allowed more than 60 authors to crown their dream of seeing their game published. Participation (single or group) is open to all, with no limit of residence or age. Participating games must be sent in by March 31, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The final ceremony<\/strong> will take place indicatively in September 2025 in Venice<\/strong> thanks to the collaboration of the City of Venice<\/strong> within a broader framework of initiatives aimed at spreading the culture of the gaming culture, also as an effective means of preventing the rampant gambling disorders.<\/p>\n Thanks to the support of the publishers, the winners will be awarded a total advance of 3,500 euros<\/strong> on future royalties accrued from the publication of their games.<\/p>\n In addition to Premio Archimede, the jury will assign other awards, trophies and category prizes such as:<\/p>\n Premio Archimede is recognized by UISP<\/strong> (“Unione Italiana Sport per Tutti” Italian Union of Sport for All) for its socio-cultural and aggregation and inclusion value; in fact, it is an activity with a playful-recreational character and promoting the right to play, for everyone and all ages.<\/p>\n Premio Archimede is collaborating with Spielwarenmesse<\/strong> and the Bavarian Games Archive<\/strong> as part of the Games Inventors Convention<\/strong> in the context of the annual Nuremberg trade fair, a gathering for game authors from around the world, publishers and agencies.<\/p>\n Download the announcement of the Archimedes Prize 2025 from the Download menu, top left.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_message message_box_color=”pink” icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-exclamation-triangle”]\n MORE, BETTER, AND READY-TO-TEST GAMES!<\/strong><\/p>\n Again this year, Premio Archimede will have a structure designed to increase the quality and number of games admitted to the finals, increasing their chances of publication.<\/p>\n The selection and development process.<\/strong> The selection jury will test and evaluate each game, proceeding in order of arrival (the earlier the prototype arrives, the earlier it will be reviewed). At the end of the evaluation, the author will receive an evaluation sheet<\/strong> that can have one of the following verdicts:<\/p>\n a) NOT ADMITTED TO THE FINALS<\/strong>: If it is deemed that the game does not have sufficient potential, it will not be admitted to the finals and the authors will immediately resume ownership of all rights. They can also immediately request the return of the prototype, which will be done at their own expense.<\/p>\n b) ADMITTED TO THE FINALS<\/strong>: If the game is admitted directly to the final stages, prompt notice will be given to the authors and the rights of option will be triggered.<\/p>\n c) IN DEVELOPEMENT:<\/strong>: This verdict appears in the event that the jury thinks the game is interesting, but not yet at a sufficiently high level to enter the finals. In that case, authors can try to implement the jury’s suggestions by entering a development phase. Authors should be careful to send in any updated versions of their games, which will then be reevaluated. This phase will proceed even after<\/strong> March 31, 2025, because the development is NOT tied to the application deadline and can be continued in the following months. Games that have reached a level of quality deemed satisfactory after this process will fall under case (b), the others under case (a). In any case, the fine-tuning of the prototypes can take quite some time, so we suggest that authors register and send their games as soon as possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The finals.<\/strong> In Venice, during the week prior to the awar- ding of the prizes, all the finalist games (as many as possible) will be tested, retested and voted on by the final jury, composed of editors from many of the world’s leading publishing houses. At the final cere- mony, the winners of Premio Archimede 2025 and of the collateral prizes will finally be announced.<\/p>\n Publication.<\/strong> Through this approach, those games that make it to the finals will have a very high probability of being published and thus find their way to the marketing stage. To facilitate and speed up the choices of the various publishers, the authors of the finalist games will also be asked to send multiple copies of their prototype.<\/p>\n[\/vc_message][vc_message message_box_color=”alert-info” icon_fontawesome=”far fa-lightbulb”]\n CNR-IFN will also organize the fifth edition of the FOTONICA IN GIOCO<\/strong> competition, open to all Italian high school students<\/strong>, aiming at realizing an original board game with educational or informative purposes (www.fotonicaingioco.it<\/a>). The classes that will produce the three best projects will take part in the closing ceremony, which will be held simultaneously with the Premio Archimede.<\/p>\n[\/vc_message][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”70435″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”JURY” tab_id=”giuria2025″][vc_column_text]\n\n
