In Games for Change's first-ever public design competition, we will award a
prize of $35,000 to create a prototype of a safe sex awareness game. The
game will developed for and in collaboration with
Answer<http://answer.rutgers.edu/>,
a progressive, tech-savvy organization that has more than 30 years of
experience providing and promoting sexuality awareness to young people.

As part of the competition, three finalists will be selected to present
their ideas on stage at the 10th Anniversary Games for Change
Festival<http://gamesforchange.org/festival2013/> (June
17-19), with the full attention of attendees, media, potential funders, and
a juried panel. The winning concept will then be announced at the festival
in front of a live audience.

The final game will be featured on Sexetc.org <http://sexetc.org/>,
Answer's site that reaches millions of teens each year with
life-enhancing—and often life-saving—sexuality and sexual health
information.
