Why Games Matter: A Prescription to Improve Health and Health Care

Region

Global

Deadline Date

September 26 2007


Changemakers, in partnership with the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), invites entries from those who are attempting to forge links between the world of gaming and game design and the world of health.


The Changemakers open source competition model seeks new ideas and approaches to stimulate solutions that merge two distinct but increasingly interconnected worlds - computer and video games and health and health care. The online competition is designed for collaborative comment to connect
participants to new ideas, partners, and resources.


All competition finalists will win the opportunity to go to Baltimore, Maryland, United States, in May 2008, to present their work at the Changemakers Change Summit held in conjunction with the RWJF-sponsored Games for Health Conference. Competition winners will receive a cash prize.

The deadline for application is September 26 2007.
