Submission Rules​

• To ensure as many people as possible can present their work, only one submission may be made per lead author, and individuals may present only one paper per submission type during the conference.

• Accepted Creative Works & Paper authors attending the event must still purchase a ticket.

• An author or representative needs to attend the conference in person for the works to be accepted.​

​

Tips for submissions

• Submissions may present completed research or work in progress, but they should clearly explain what is new, interesting or valuable about the work being presented.

• Try to make the main contribution of your paper clear early in the abstract rather than spending most of the submission explaining background or context.

• Your submission should clearly communicate the research question or issue being explored, the approach or methodology used, and the findings, outcomes or ideas that will be discussed.

• Write your abstract so that it can be understood by attendees and reviewers from different areas of games research and development, rather than assuming specialist knowledge.

• Where relevant, engage with existing research, projects or industry work to show how your submission connects to the wider field.

• If the work has previously been published or presented, explain what is different, updated or expanded in the version being submitted to the Experimental Games Conference.

• Most importantly, give reviewers a clear understanding of what attendees will learn, discuss or take away from your presentation.
