Virgin Gaming has confirmed that the winner of its 100 Day Game Project will receive £10,000 towards further funding a career in games.
The money can be used for anything from training to equipment and is in addition to support from The Unversity of Abertay Dundee, which will help create the chosen finalist's project.
The competition is calling mobile game concepts from teams of four, with the winners to be judged by experts from Outplay Entertainment, Ubisoft Reflections, Digital Goldfish and Eurogamer.
The winner will be unveiled and playable at this year's Eurogamer Expo, taking place this September.

[quote]Attention aspiring game developers!
‘Virgin Media’s 100 Day Game Project’ is on a mission to find the brightest talent in game design and creation, and, with input from the wider gaming community, help them to bring their game idea to life.
We’re looking for amateur and student game designers from across the country to come to us with their concepts for a top quality mobile/tablet game. Utilising some of the industry’s brightest brains, we’ll select one concept and help the lucky winning team create their game and make their vision a reality. Reaching out to gaming fans everywhere, the project will culminate with the beta game launch at the Eurogamer Expo on 27th September.
And what’s more, we’ll be giving the winning team £10,000 to help support them with their further development in the industry.
How does it work?
We're looking for teams of 3-4 members, aged 18-35, to pitch their game ideas using the entry form below. But please do make sure you read the full terms of entering the competitions below before submitting your entry.
Once all the entries have been received, the competition comes to life!
Entries will be reviewed by our panel of experts, and entrants must be available for a final judging day in London on 12th June 2012
Once a winning team has been chosen, Virgin Media will be whisking them away to a special development lab in Dundee - a hotbed of game development - for the beginning of the 100 days development process. That's from 18th June to 26th September, so make sure you're all free!
As the game development begins the world will be able to follow your journey through a series of specially created weekly blogs and video diaries, allowing fans to get involved and suggest ideas on the fly
Once the game is finished, your team will be heading down to the Eurogamer Expo at London's Earls Court from 27th-30th September to demo the game prototype to the trigger happy gaming public!
To receive the £10,000 funding for your future development, you will need to present a proposal of how you will use this funding. The money will be released to you following approval of this proposal.

They often can't include kids in it for legal reasons.
Expected a story about a middle aged rich guy who has never had a girlfriend donating money towards a gaming competition.
Was disappointed.
