Game Republic Student Showcase 2010

Leeds Met students were among the prize-winners at this year's Game Republic Showcase competition.

The event gives all final-year and postgraduate games students from Yorkshire and Humber an opportunity to put their coursework in front of the region's games companies.

Four student teams and two individual students entered from Innovation North, and their work was displayed among high-quality projects from other universities.

Sam Holguin, Neil Beggs, Eleanor Hewitt and Jessica Wong won two first prize awards, and one second prize for their game, Crobot Wars.

The Game Republic Student Showcase was held on Tuesday 25th May at the University of Huddersfield - a yearly event that gives all final-year and postgraduate games students from Yorkshire and Humber a fantastic opportunity to put their coursework in front of the region's games companies - and hopefully win a prize and a work placement.
