Game developers can now recommend games for Game Developer Conference's big awards show.
Nominations Open for 4th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards
Recipients to be Announced at 2004 Game Developers Conference
SAN FRANCISCO - Jan. 7, 2004 - Nominations are open for the 4th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, the most prestigious honors in game development.
Nominations will be accepted through Jan. 23, 2004. All those directly involved in the development and design of videogames are eligible to nominate at www.igda.org/awards.
The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) will present the awards on March 24, 2004, at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Jose, Calif., the world's largest conference and exposition dedicated to video game development and related industries.
"All the recognition we've received so far pales compared to the Choice Awards," noted Ubisoft's Splinter Cell team, a previous award recipient. "Acknowledgement from fellow game developers and from the industry tells us we've done something important beyond commercial success, something that will be remembered, and something that helps advance the genre and the art form."
The Game Developers Choice Awards categories focus on rewarding and recognizing innovation and excellence in the art of making games - regardless of genre, platform or delivery medium. Awards will be given in the following categories:
"Developers know first hand all the sweat and tears that go into making groundbreaking games," said Jason Della Rocca, program director, IGDA. "Having them nominate their peers, and watch fellow developers receive the recognition is only fitting."
