GameCity is a unique celebration of culture.

It’s a series of regular events across the UK culminating in an annual festival that takes place in Nottingham’s best venues and public spaces. GameCity brings people together to participate in interesting things and engage in playful experiences in exciting new ways. GameCity projects aim to contextualise videogames as accessible, important, cultural, visionary and enduring pieces of work made by people. Real creative people with diverse skills, ambitions and imaginations. We want as many people as possible to be able to join in, play, learn and have some fun in the process.

GameCity is powered by Nottingham Trent University with support and backing from a range of private and public sector partners such as Nottingham City Council, Broadway Media Centre, and Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies.

In 2008 NTU collaborated with the National Media Museum to launch the National Videogame Archive, a project dedicated to preserving videogame culture for future generations.

In 2011 GameCity launched the GameCity Prize. The annual award is given to the creator(s) of an exceptional videogame made that year. Nominations are made by an esteemed, secret academy and judged by a culturally informed jury. Previous winners are Minecraft (Mojang) and Journey (thatvideogamecompany).
