The Prize is dedicated to the great Alex Randolph (considered the founder of the profession of game inventors), who was the President of this competition during the first seven editions.
It is a very important opportunity for aspiring inventors, especially for the italians: here they can show their creativity and, most of all, they can improve their skills by exchanging opinions with each other and with the international jury of games experts, presided by the dutch Niek Neuwahl.
The importance of this event is demonstrated by the fact that many awarded games of the past editions have been published in Italy or in other countries.
