How to apply to Dare - China & India
You need to be a team of 4 containing a balance of art and programming students with a team member who will tackle the audio aspects of the game. In addition to this your team must have someone willing to take on the role of team leader in addition to their creative / technical duties.
You must be a team of students (postgraduate and / or undergraduate) at a Higher Education Institute (University or Art College) in China or India. The 2 successful international teams will take part at our hosting centre in Dundee, Scotland, UK.
In 2008 we had hosting centres in Scotland, Ireland (Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) and England.
You can still apply if your whole team is currently in their fourth year and will graduate in summer 2009. Your team can have a maximum of 2 people in it who are studying at a Further Education college or who have graduated in the last 2 years but the remaining 3 team members must fit the normal criteria, i.e. are undergraduate or postgraduate students at a University or College of Art within one of the regions mentioned above.
Please note you cannot enter or take part Dare if you have taken part before, however you can enter if you have previously applied to Dare but were unsuccessful in securing a place (this includes if you got through to the interview stage but were unsuccessful in getting a place).
Once you have a complete team, complete the application form on this site by the closing date (details will be posted up later in the year or early next year).
