TIGA, the network for video games developers and digital publishers and the trade association representing the video games industry, has today announced that it will be extending the TIGA Games Industry Awards 2016 deadline to 17:00/5pm 15th August, thereby giving entrants an additional 3 days to submit their entries. TIGA made the decision in response to requests for extra time by a number of games companies.
The deadline extension applies to all of the Award Categories. Any game which has been released prior to 16th August 2016 is eligible to enter the TIGA Games Industry Awards. Games released outside of the 2015-6 awards year which have been updated can also be submitted.
The TIGA Games Industry Awards uniquely recognise excellence in games development, business and education. The Awards also celebrate the achievements of both small and large games development studios. TIGA’s Awards combine the expertise of a credible judging panel with a public vote for the ‘Game of the Year’.
The TIGA Games Industry Awards shortlist will be announced in mid September 2016 with the dazzling awards ceremony taking place on 11th November 2016 at the stunning Christchurch Spitalfields in the heart of London’s East End. Tickets are on salenow with early bird prices available until 22nd September 2016. TIGA would like to once again thank all of the sponsors (listed right) without whom the TIGA Games Industry Awards would not be possible.
