Coders and creative are getting together next month to develop some new games.
Hackjsy are holding a weekend hackathon at the Digital Jersey Hub and there's £1000 up for grabs for the best app or game.
They want to see developers, designers, project managers, games enthusiasts and gaming and e-gaming experts working together over the weekend that starts at 8 pm on Friday 18 March and runs until noon on Sunday 20 March.
It's a free event with prizes to be won - a grand for the winner, £500 for the runner up and the latest Oculus Rift Development Kit for whoever comes third.
One of the organisers, Matt Chatterley, said: “This really is meant to be a fun weekend where people who have an idea can join a team and get stuck in with creating a digital app or game.
“We are a collaborative community so if you don’t have a team set up already just get in touch and we can find somebody you can work with.’
You’ll have to present your project to a panel of judges who are all industry experts including Genevieve Leveille, CEO of KrypC, and a finalist in the Women in IT Awards, 2016; Ian Hughes, game technology specialist and Giancarlo Achler, Director, SidePlay Entertainment Ltd.
