Highest Awards
Tyro, Practitioner, and Fellow are the highest honors in EGD. These distinctions recognize sustained mastery, leadership, and meaningful contribution to the community over time. Each award marks increasing responsibility, impact, and professional practice. By the time a member becomes a Fellow, they have demonstrated long-term commitment, ownership, and the ability to carry projects from idea to impact.
There are two ways to earn EGD's Highest Awards: Studio Track and Strategic Track. Both tracks demand rigor, initiative, and leadership, but they cultivate impact in different ways.
Ready to Start?
Studio Track
Submit an application through the online portal. Placement is competitive and based on eligibility and readiness.
Strategic Track
Express your interest to your Crew Guide. Together, you will define and scope your first project before beginning Tyro.
Studio Track
Large-Scale Development & Production
The Studio Track is completed through participation in a 40+ member development team within your Hub’s Studio (or #99’s Studio).
Studio participants specialize in one of 16 concentrations and engage in projects that emulate the workflow of a professional AAA studio. Members grow through increasing responsibility in a collaborative game production environment.
Studio Track members must be enrolled in or hold a degree in an approved related discipline.
Strategic Track
Service, Research & Community Innovation
The Strategic Track is designed for members who want to create impact outside of an AAA production environment. It is open to students of any major. Members complete three increasingly ambitious projects that grow in scope, complexity, and responsibility.
These projects may involve independent development, service initiatives, event production, research, or other approved contributions that are aligned with EGD’s mission.
For Those Who Go Further.
Fellowship is EGD’s highest honor and emphasizes innovation, mentorship, and long-term impact. Fellows graduate with experience that goes beyond a typical entry-level profile and are prepared to compete for early-career roles that often ask for prior professional experience. They have demonstrated the ability to manage responsibility within complex systems, navigate ambiguity, mentor others, and see projects through from conception to execution.

I'm super grateful for the career advice I've received during the course of this year. This is gonna sound cliché but back in September all I knew was I wanted to go into game art but had no idea how to go about it. I feel like I've learned, experienced, and been a part of so much this year that wouldn’t be possible without EGD.

What I got out of [EGD] was not only the relationships and friends that I still talk to, but this methodology or thought process… a way of seeing games that's very valuable. EGD made me realize [becoming a game developer was] actually something that I could theoretically do. I would never have done that if it weren't for my time at EGD.
