Ensemble 2027 accepts nominations for underrepresented talent in UK games

London Games Festival is accepting self-applications and nominations for its exhibition celebrating Black, Asian and underrepresented ethnic talent. The organiser lists a November 9, 2026 deadline.

Ensemble 2027 is inviting people to nominate a colleague or apply to be featured in London Games Festival's exhibition recognising ethnic diversity in the UK games industry. The organiser's applications page links directly to the nomination form.

The call concerns people shaping the industry, rather than requiring a studio to submit an unreleased game. Its stated focus is Black, Asian and underrepresented ethnic talent. It is an exhibition and recognition opportunity, not an advertised cash grant or job opening.

The wider London Games Festival is scheduled for April 12–19, 2027. Ensemble has its own application deadline of November 9, 2026; the official listing does not provide a closing hour. Applicants should use the specific Ensemble link, because the same page contains separate studio, exhibitor and Games Finance Market calls with different dates and purposes.

This is a current open opportunity. The first announcement date has not been established, and a calendar's recent verification is not evidence that the call opened today. The nomination form should be checked for the complete questions, eligibility and use-of-information terms before a submission is made.
