14th International Mobile Gaming Awards  Nominations Announced

Public voting now open for the People’s Choice Award

Marseille, February 22, 2018 – The 14th International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA) today announced the 174 games nominated for their Grand Prix award, as well as those
nominated for the 12 additional prizes. The winners will be announced on March 20 at the annual IMGA Global awards ceremony in San Francisco.

Fans of the nominated games can vote now at imgawards.com to help their favorites in the competition for the People’s Choice Award.

For the second year in a row, we held regional IMGA competitions in China, MENA, and SEA. Today the winners of these competitions – along with new entrants from around the world – have been nominated to compete in our global challenge, the 14th IMGA. The nominated games set new standards in all aspects of game development; creativity, innovation, technical excellence, art, and design. The 174 nominees, including 28 unpublished games and 19 VR games, have been selected from nearly three thousand submissions. “I enjoyed playing all of our nominated games, and I am confident that our jury will too while determining the winners of
this competition.” said Maarten Noyons, CEO, and founder of the IMGA.

The IMGA will also present the Best Game Artist of 2017, which debuted in last year’s global competition. It will be given to the best artist or the best art team who worked on an exceptionally beautiful game. Ben Brudenell won the award in its inaugural year for his work on Dawn of Titans.
