BIMA ventures into the world of e-Sports!

With the recent explosion in popularity of professional video gaming competitions and live streaming, video game art and design is becoming recognized as an exciting new canvas for creative expression and storytelling–with our region being one of the most influential hubs for video game development outside of Silicon Valley.

This Mario Kart 8 tournament pits 16 contestants in a bracketed, single-elimination race for the checkered flag.

$10 Entry Fee for contestants, free for spectators. Contestant space is limited, so sign up before all slots are claimed. Registration is required whether you are competing or just cheering as a spectator.
