Applications close: 1 August 2025

Be a part of Australia’s biggest games festival.

Melbourne International Games Week (MIGW) welcomes applications from all corners of the digital, tabletop and live action games sector. To curate a comprehensive and engaging program, MIGW prioritises events that align with its core pillars: the industry, the public , and education. We aim to ensure a diverse schedule that caters to a broad audience.

Applications undergo a rigorous review and Creative Victoria reserves the right to not list an event based on its merits and cohesiveness within the overall program. Feedback can be provided to unsuccessful applicants.

Digital and non-digital games are both areas of interest within MIGW. If you have an idea for an event but you’re not sure how to make it happen, get in contact with us at games@creative.vic.gov.au to discuss.

MIGW 2025 will occur 4–12 October 2025.
