HOW IT WORKS
All UK industry professionals are welcome to nominate. There will then be a shortlisting process before we ask our panel and readers to decide the winners.

NOMINATE UNTIL APRIL 3
As well as our panel of experts identifying the games, people and companies most deserving of recognition, we are inviting all UK industry professionals to nominate the titles, organisations and campaign accomplishments they feel should be considered among this year’s finalists. Details below!

VOTE FROM APRIL 7
After our panel has deliberated over the nominees, the finalists will be announced on Wednesday 5th April – one week after the close of nominations. There will then be an online vote, simultaneous to which a second panel of experts, made up from representatives of previous years’ winners, will privately vote for its preferences.

CELEBRATE ON MAY 11
Decided by a combination of panel and public voting, the award winners will be announced on Thursday 11th May 2023 at an exclusive ceremony at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London, guided by the original voice of Lara Croft, Shelley Blond, and hosted by a succession of MCV alumni. Tables are limited. Book now to avoid disappointment.
