A second Protozone during the nocturne!
The ProtoZone is back for its 10ᵗʰ edition, with the same goal as always: showcasing brand new game prototypes, encouraging exciting encounters, and spreading lots of gaming energy!
16 game designers will be selected to present their game to the public throughout the weekend.
It’s a great opportunity to share your universe, test your creation, gather feedback… and maybe win a prize!
How does it work?
To participate, submit your application via the online form between April 3 and May 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM.
A selection committee composed of people from the gaming world (designers, professionals, association members, etc.) will choose the 16 prototypes that will take part in ProtoZone 2025.
The results will be announced around July 1ˢᵗ, giving the committee time to deliberate carefully.
Two prizes to be won!
🟡 The Golden Meeple Pis
Awarded by the BGF public, this prize goes to the most appreciated prototype of the weekend.
🔵 The Jury Prize
New this year, this prize is awarded by a panel of professionals from the board game world.
That’s not all…
All selected prototypes can also apply for the MeepleMaker grant, proposed by OpenFab-GameLab, which offers prototyping support in a Brussels fablab dedicated to game creation.
