The championship consists of two main stages:

  • Successful participants will demonstrate their skills in the regional semi-finals to be held in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Gaziantep, Samsun and Elazig provinces within 48 hours.
  • The finalists from each region will compete in the Turkish final on 24-25 July.
  • At the end of this marathon, the winners will pass on to the second stage.

During the “acceleration” stage, participants will be provided with training and mentoring supports for about 3 months, making them ready to meet with the industry's leading publishers and investors on the demo day in November.
