Come Out & Play 2010: Deadline extended to April 19

Come Out & Play 2010: Call for Submissions extended to April 19

Come Out & Play is a three-day festival of street games. The festival provides a forum for new types of street, mobile and location-based games. We bring together players eager to explore the world around them, with designers interested in producing innovative new games and experiences. Oh yeah, and we have city-sized fun.

Come Out & Play 2010 will be held June 4th to 6th at the Brooklyn Lyceum in New York City. We have access to a number of special locations for this year’s festival including Prospect Park, Green-Wood Cemetery, and Old Stone Manor ballfield. And we’ll have the same great community of designers, volunteers, and players to play your game and share in the street game spirit.

But this year’s Come Out & Play is even more special. We’re proud to announce that we will also be hosting three new mini-festivals later this year. We're partnering with IndieCade to run and event in LA. We'll be working with Giant Robot to run games in San Francisco. And finally we'll be bringing street games all the way to Seoul, Korea. All of these mini-festivals will be in the Fall of 2010. We'll work with designers from the main NYC festival to choose a select group of games from the history Come Out & Play to run at the mini-festivals. So that's even more reason to bring your great design skills to the 2010 festival.

Applications are due April 19.

Right now we're accepting applications for games. We like to feature everything from the low-tech to the high-tech. We're primarily interested in fun, innovative games that make interesting use of the city. We’re also looking for a handful of games that we can pair to specific timeslots, local partners and other sponsors. Check out the website (http://www.comeoutandplay.org) for more information on the specific "featured" spots we need brave game designers for. The festival spreads out across New York City, but will be based primarily around South Brooklyn. Designers have the chance to explore the potential of play in areas ranging from the residential streets of Park Slope, the post-industrial canals of Gowanus, the tamed wilderness of Prospect Park, and the historic texture of Green-Wood Cemetery.
