BBC’s ‘The Box’ Flash Game Competition

The Facebook Developer Garage London is helping the BBC to find a fun flash game as part of their ‘The Box’ project, tracking a BBC branded shipping container as it travels around the world, transporting goods by sea, road and rail, to educate about globalisation. Any individual can submit a flash game they’ve created, with the final winner being voted on by the public. The winning game will be available for the public to play on bbc.co.uk/thebox – and if you turn the game into a social network application, will link to this as well. Although the BBC isn’t allowed to actively promote developers it has agreed to place your name alongside the winning game on the site to acknowledge your efforts which should be a great showcase for your work. Journalists from the BBC will be coming to the next garage on 12th November to tell us more about the Box project, when we’ll be releasing more details on how to enter the competition.
You can buy tickets for the garage at novembergarage.eventbrite.com and can see the Facebook event here.
