How to apply to Dare
You need to be a team of 5 containing a balance of art and programming students with a team member who will tackle the audio aspects of the game. In addition to this your team must have someone willing to take on the role of team leader in addition to their creative / technical duties.
You must be a team of students (postgraduate and / or undergraduate) at a Higher Education Institute (University or Art College) within one of the following areas / regions.
In 2008 we will have hosting centres in Scotland, Ireland (for Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) and in England. Details of these host centre locations will be posted up as they are confirmed. Contact your course tutor to find out if your University of Art College is involved or can get involved.
You can still apply if your whole team is currently in their fourth year and will graduate in summer 2008. Your team can have a maximum of 2 people in it who are studying at a Further Education college or who have graduated in the last 2 years but the remaining 3 team members must fit the normal criteria, i.e. are undergraduate or postgraduate students at a University or College of Art within one of the regions mentioned above.
