Advancing game design talent at Level Up Showcase

Level Up Showcase has become synonymous with new creative talent in game design, animation and computer science since its inception in 2011.

In partnership with XP Gaming, the student games showcase takes place on April 19, 2024 from 4 to 10 p.m. at the Westin Harbour Castle.

The public is invited to explore games from post-secondary students from across Ontario under one roof, culminating in an awards ceremony to recognize student achievements.

Level Up Showcase is Ontario's premier exhibition for student game developers, providing a platform for emerging talent to showcase their projects to industry professionals and the public.

Founded and organized by digital media faculty from post-secondary institutions across the province, Level Up Showcase celebrates creativity, innovation and the future of game development.

Level Up Showcase is supported by key industry partners including Ubisoft, AMD and Zynga. Level Up Showcase is also supported by the Ontario government through Ontario Creates, and the City of Toronto.
