Serious Game Showcase & Challenge (SGS&C) is pleased to announce its 2013 finalists. Finalists are currently being reviewed by an esteemed panel of evaluators to determine the winners in the Business, Government, and Student categories. Five of the finalists are also competing for the Best Mobile Game Award.
Six of the finalists will be competing for the new Students’ Choice Award chosen by a selection of Orange County (FL) public school students. SGS&C is very happy to be working with the students and officials in the Orange County Public School system to determine this award.
