Escapees win places in 2026 Into Games 50 Awards

“I'm really honoured to be selected for the IG50 awards this year, If I could give one piece of advice to anyone studying at Escape at the moment it would be this: Make sure to take advantage of all the resources provided to you during your studies. Escape is a fast-track to polishing your skills. The more you put in, the more you get out!” 

“Escape Studios has been invaluable in providing industry-relevant knowledge and up-to-date practices that helped guide me as I began my career in 3D environment art. The support and education I received gave me the confidence and skills to develop my specialism and pursue opportunities in the industry. 

Being selected as part of the IG50 is a rewarding recognition of everything I have learned and achieved since graduating. It reflects the progress I've made as a 3D Environment Artist and motivates me to keep growing. 

As an IG50 winner, I'm excited to connect with other talented artists who share a similar passion, build lasting professional relationships, and collaborate in the future. I'm also looking forward to meeting industry professionals who are passionate about supporting and nurturing the next generation of artists entering the industry.” 

“Being part of the IG50 is an incredible honour and something I genuinely didn’t expect. Having my work recognised alongside so many talented artists has given me a real confidence boost. Escape Studios played a huge role in helping me pursue my passion for 3D environment art, giving me the skills and support to grow as an artist. I’d also like to say thank you to my tutor, Christian Avigni, for his continuous support and encouragement from the very beginning, as well as my friends and family for their constant support throughout this journey. I’m excited to connect with other developers, learn from industry professionals and make the most of the opportunities that come with being part of the IG50.” 

“Being selected for the Into Games IG50 is a huge milestone for me. Escape Studios helped me find my path as a 3D Environment Artist, giving me the confidence and skills to be ready for the opportunities IG50 will open as I work towards entering the games industry.” 

"Being part of the IG50 helps make my work more visible and shows professionals that I'm among the best emerging talent in the UK. My group projects from Escape constantly catch the eye of professional artists, showcasing industry-level visual and technical standards, but also the exact soft skills they're looking for. 

Having just finished my course, I'm looking forward to breaking into the industry as a real-time Environment Artist and making new connections through the IG50! "
