Getting to show your game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo is like getting to play at Carnegie Hall. Thanks to the Entertainment Software Association, which puts on the Los Angeles convention every year, five colleges will get to do exactly that. The E3 thing, not play at Carnegie Hall.
The E3 College Game Competition is open to college and universities with game development programs. Each can submit one game that a panel of industry veterans and media professionals will judge. The five finalists will get display space at this year’s event on June 16 to June 18. This is the third year the ESA has put on the contest.

Finalists receive notification May 11.
The Savannah College of Art and Design won last year’s contest with Prisma [pictured above] a side-scroller in which players switch between different dimensions to solve platforming puzzles.
