Game Jam Awards 2026 👾🏆️
We were delighted to celebrate the creativity and talent of our students at this year’s awards evening, showcasing the incredible work produced by our Game Design students during the highly anticipated, industry focused 24-hour Game Jam event.
The evening was a fantastic opportunity for students to display their work not only to industry partners and judges, but also to family and friends who came along to support and celebrate their achievements.
A huge congratulations to our talented students for the imagination, teamwork, and dedication they poured into their projects.
A special thank you to industry partner, Dan Cresswell from Wacom, the global leader in pen display and tablet market for creative users, for sponsoring this year’s 'Wacom Game Artist Award' and for his continued support over the years. Dan has been a great friend of Franklin and the Games Design course since the very beginning, and we’re incredibly grateful for the encouragement and opportunities he continues to provide for our students.
We’d also like to thank Teesside University, Manchester Metropolitan University, Sheffield Hallam University, The University of Lincoln, University Centre Grimsby, De Montfort University, and the University of Hull for sponsoring prizes and supporting the judging process.
