Applications open for a new round of Digital Games Production Funding
Screenwest is pleased to open a new round of Digital Games Funding, with support available for the production phase of game development.
The Screenwest Digital Games Production Fund provides grants to Western Australian companies and key creatives to develop and release high-quality, diverse and engaging digital games. The program is multi-staged, with game development for:
- PC;
- consoles;
- mobile;
- virtual reality (VR);
- augmented reality (AR);
- extended reality (XR).
The fund helps WA studios and developers bring their ideas and prototypes to a level that will gain interest from other investors and partners, have successful releases and achieve high player retention post launch.
Applicants are encouraged to read the guidelines. The guidelines have been updated to clarify that a game can only receive one allocation of Screenwest funding per phase i.e. one allocation for pre-production, one allocation for production and one allocation for post-production.
How to Apply
The application deadline is Tuesday, 28 January 2025 at 5:00pm AWST.
Applications will be accepted through the Screenwest SmartyGrants portal.
The full guidelines, application materials and eligibility criteria are available on the Digital Games Funding page of the Screenwest website.
Please note: for this round, only applications for the production phase of game development will be accepted.
