Webinar Announced: Game Developer Challenge Begins This Friday 09th, Organizers Say 5

The momentum around Ghana’s growing game development scene continues following last week’s MTN Gaming Conference, with organisers now preparing to launch a new Game Dev Challenge this month.

The challenge is open to university students, indie developers, solo creators, and development teams of up to three people, giving emerging developers another opportunity to build, submit, and compete with their games.

To help prospective participants understand how the challenge will work, organisers will host an onboarding webinar on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 1:30 PM.

What to Expect From the Webinar

The online session is designed to give participants a clear understanding of the challenge before submissions begin.

According to the organizers, the webinar will cover the key information participants need, including how the challenge works, the rules, submission process, and the prizes available to winners.

The session is particularly relevant for developers who already have a game they are considering submitting, as well as those who are still trying to understand what the challenge requires.

Participants will be able to learn:

  • What the Game Dev Challenge is about
  • How the competition works
  • The rules and requirements for participation
  • How to submit a game
  • What participants need to do next
  • Details about the prizes up for grabs

Who Can Participate?

The challenge is open to a broad range of aspiring and emerging developers.

Eligible participants include:

  • University students
  • Indie game developers
  • Solo game creators
  • Teams of up to three people

This makes the challenge particularly interesting for Ghana’s growing developer community, where students and small independent teams are increasingly experimenting with game development using accessible development tools and platforms.

The Momentum Continues

The announcement comes shortly after the MTN Gaming Conference 2026, which brought developers, industry stakeholders, gamers, and other members of Ghana’s gaming ecosystem together to discuss the industry’s growth and future.

Rather than slowing down after the conference, the Game Dev Challenge provides another opportunity for developers to turn that momentum into actual projects.

For developers who have been working on a game, the challenge could also provide an opportunity to put their work in front of a wider audience and compete for prizes.

How to Join

The onboarding webinar takes place Friday, October 9, 2026, at 1:30 PM.

Interested participants can claim their spot by scanning the QR code on the official flyer or using the registration link provided by the organizers.

For anyone considering entering the Game Dev Challenge, the onboarding session is worth attending. Understanding the rules and submission requirements early could make the difference between simply having a game and successfully entering it into the competition.

The conference may be over, but Ghana’s game development conversation is far from finished.
