2012
- Over 44 original ideas were submitted in this competition
- 6 teams developed fully working games and qualified to the last stage of the competition
- 3 teams were able to win and acquire the necessary financial support and incubation to further develop and publish their games
Teams in this competition were not professional developers to start, however two out of the three winning teams have decided to work on their game development projects after the competition.
Teams two did not win are continuing to enhance their games and seek further support to complete the project. the competition inspired a lot of interest in game development and we are hoping to continue working with more young developers in 2014
Obtaining the financial support necessary to scale and expand our activities nationwide is the main obstacle we might faced in the future
By continuing to host the annual convention and our entertainment activities we are able to secure the necessary operational funds, supported by upcoming crowd funding activities

We first met at university, joined by our shared love for games. As CIS students we wondered about career opportunities for women in technology and why very few ever enter the gaming industry. The idea for a girls only gaming convention came after hearing about a local gaming convention we were sadly unable to attend, as the event was males only and no women were allowed, additionally, the organizers never considered dedicating a female day, as it was believed that girls and women have no interest in gaming. So, we decided to take a stand, stop waiting to be recognized and host a large scale convention of our own.
