ONTARIO MEDIA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
INDUSTRY INITIATIVES - INTERACTIVE DIGITAL MEDIA BULLETIN

Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC) is pleased to announce the launch of the OMDC Video Game Prototype Initiative. Documentation for this pilot initiative is now available online (www.omdc.on.ca - under Programs / Content and Marketing Funds / OMDC Video Game Prototype Initiative).

The OMDC Video Game Prototype Initiative is designed to provide Ontario video game developers with funding for the creation of a prototype in order to secure a publisher or attract financing for a market-ready, commercial video game product. Successful applicants will receive a repayable contribution of up to $500,000 to a maximum of 50% of eligible expenses for their prototype.

This initiative is targeted at established video game developers with a track record that clearly demonstrates their capability to create and exploit a large scale video game. It is anticipated that the prototypes that will be funded through this initiative will lead to the development of video games that will provide significant benefits to the Ontario economy.
