Makers of traditional board games are being invited to compete alongside video games makers in a 48-hour-long 'game jam' due to take place in Elgin next month over a single weekend.
Elgin is set to host Moray Game Jam 2015 from March 20 to March 22.
In the space of 48 hours, teams will design, develop, create and test a new game with the hope of turning it into a commercial success.
Teams of up to five people are being sought now by the game jam organisers. Members should be over 16.
The winning video game team will win the opportunity to be mentored by Elgin-based Hunted Cow Studios, while the triumphant board game team will be offered the chance to work with California-based Victory Point Games.
Last year's Moray Game Jam was supported by Creative Scotland.

A major fundraising campaign has been launched to raise cash for a new art, design and crafts centre for Orkney.
Organisers behind the Orkney Creative Hub project are looking to raise £1m by April to buy and adapt the former Ortak workshop and visitor centre in Kirkwall and are now appealing for public support.
The Orkney Creative Hub aims to provide a central location for education, development and enterprise opportunities for artists, designers and crafters from within and outwith Orkney.
The initiative - driven by Orkney Crafts Association, Orkney Arts and Crafts and the not-for-profit art shop, For Arts Sake - has been set up as a Community Interest Company.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
