The highly competitive pool of submissions was whittled down by jury to three finalists, which included Sharp End Studio, Hub of the Hammer, and The 3rd Realm.
The selections were made through a rigorous multi-level process including video submission, interview, and a business plan presentation.
As winner of this prestigious award, video game developing company Sharp End Studio – best known for designing a new game titled Valiant Effort in collaboration with the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum – will be leasing space with Wilson Blanchard Management at 20 Hughson Street South.
But that’s not all! As part of the live award announcement on March 10th at local restaurant 33 Bowen, an additional announcement was made for a new contest called Win Free Rent, which will allow a second opportunity for a local Hamilton business to also win free rent for office space in the Downtown Hamilton BIA.
Interested businesses can submit through the Downtown Hamilton BIA website.
