Mobile Gaming Awards Announce Nominees

Infinity Blade II for iOS, nominated in the Excellence in Gaming category

The International Mobile Gaming Awards has announced the nominees for its eighth annual awards. 30 games, across six categories - Best Casual, Real World, Sports, and Social Game; Most Innovative; and Excellence in Gaming – will move onto the final round of judging.

Nearly 500 games were originally submitted – a record number for the competition.

“We have had an unprecedented response for this year’s awards”, says Maarten Noyons, CEO and founder of the IMGA. “We see a trend of very high-quality, big productions coming to the mobile platform and on the other hand a lot of fresh innovative casual games. I think the jury has made a very interesting choice. The eighth IMGA shows a wealth of new ideas and groundbreaking quality coming from studios all over the world. I would like to congratulate each of the developers that have games nominated and thank everyone who submitted games to the awards.”

The winners will receive €100,000 (£83,600) of media exposure, from platinum sponsor ProSieben Sat1 Games, with the overall winner receiving €400,000 of publicity.
