BBFC to hold seminar on classifying games

Following the recent attention given to the BBFC classification process over the Manhunt 2 ban, the organisation has announced a seminar explaining the process.

"The BBFC is aware of the increased production costs of next generation video game development and the tight deadlines which all developers and publishers face. The classification process needs to be as efficient as possible," the organisation said in a written statement.

"Our seminar, Classifying Games at the BBFC, will explain how the process works. It will cover the legal framework for games regulation, how classification decisions are reached and the practicalities of the job. The seminar aims to promote a better understanding of the BBFC and equip the games industry with everything needed to take best advantage of the service."

Classifying Games at the BBFC will be held on October 30 at 3 Soho Square in London. Interested parties should contact the BBFC for further information.
