Ukie are excited to announce a new award honouring the UK’s wealth of developing talent. The UK Game of the Show prize, supported by UK Trade & Investment, will be awarded at this year’s Gamescom in Cologne to the UK based developer that best reflects the remarkable skill and unique imaginative talent of UK developers today. As a trade body supporting the games industry in the UK, Ukie is keen to do all it can to help shine a spotlight on up and coming home talent and champion them to the wider industry overseas.
To be considered for the Ukie UK Game of the Show, you must be a UK based developer, developing a game on any platform that has not yet been released to the public.
“There’s so much exciting new talent in the UK games industry at the moment making truly innovative games”, said Jo Twist, CEO of Ukie. “We believe that new developers deserve support and recognition, especially abroad. The Ukie UK Game of the Show award was conceived to do just that – celebrate the accomplishments of this next generation of developers in an international Expo setting and so put them in the international spotlight.’
Judging will take place throughout Gamescom by expert representatives from Fat Pebble, Develop magazine and Ukie. The winning developer will be announced during a drinks reception at the UK Industry Stand on the penultimate day of the business expo. Their game and company will also be press released by Ukie and profiled in Develop magazine. Winners will also receive 6 months’ free membership of Ukie.
