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.
