The [[Independent Games Festival]] (IGF) is an event held during the main GDC in the early part of the year, open to games from small independent studios and from students at universities. The IGF culminates with the presentation of several awards to games which have been nominated and voted on in the months prior, and which are given space at the IGF to showcase their game. These awards have cash prizes associated with them, ranging from {{USD|1,000}} to {{USD|30,000}} for the [[Seumas McNally Grand Prize]]. The ceremony is typically held as the lead-in to the GDCA award ceremony.
