Am I not allowed to submit a game unless it has been assessed for rating?

You are not required to complete a rating assessment in order to apply to the Beaver Rocks 2025 Indie Game & Culture Festival. However, all exhibited games must comply with the classification standards of the Game Content Rating Board. Applicants are responsible for checking with the relevant authorities regarding the rating of their games.

I submitted multiple forms for the same game. Which one will be reviewed?

If multiple applications are submitted for the same game, the most recent version will be reviewed.

Can I make changes to the application form once it has been submitted?

Yes, you can update your application until the submission deadline. All changes must be made by the applicant before resubmitting. If you're unable to update the original form, you may submit a new one and notify us via email.

What should the video showcasing the game contain?

We recommend including both a trailer and gameplay footage, but there are no strict guidelines. You may upload the video to your personal YouTube channel and provide the URL in the form.

Can a game be submitted if it is still unfinished?

Yes. Games that are still in development or unreleased are eligible for submission.
