◦ Hosted and organized by the Korea Indie Game Association, ‘Indie Awards 2024’ nominees are being recruited
◦ Starting this year, opportunities for general user or public participation will be provided, and the results will be reflected in the second offline voting review
The recruitment of candidates for the ‘Indie Awards 2024’ awards ceremony, an indie game awards ceremony hosted and organized by the Korea Indie Game Association, has begun.
The application for nominations for the ‘Indie Awards 2024’, which is in its 4th year this year, will be open from September 3 to September 29, 2024. Applicants must be game developers or individual developers who have released and provided services between July 2023 and August 2024, and large game companies or listed companies cannot participate.
The Indie Awards are a place to discover the works of indie game developers with outstanding creativity and originality and to recognize and praise their efforts. The ‘Indie Awards 2024’ has become an important event where indie developers active in various fields of the game industry gather together to share their experiences and promote the development of the industry as a whole. Any domestic indie game developer can apply.
The 16 finalist teams selected through the first document evaluation will be exhibited at the offline event, ‘Digital Innovation Festa ‘DINNO 2024” Indie Game Showroom, held on October 11th (Thu) ~ 12th (Fri). Game users or visitors who visit can vote freely, and the public’s evaluation will also be reflected in the evaluation, so it will be a good opportunity to check fair market reactions.
Hong Young-ki, Vice President of the Korea Indie Game Association, said, “It’s unfortunate that there are Korean indie games that have good quality but do not perform well due to a lack of marketing and business viability,” and added, “This year, we tried to provide an opportunity to leap forward with the upgraded ‘Indie Awards’ by introducing an evaluation system in which users or the public participate.”
For more information about the event and to apply, please check the notice on the official community cafe of the Korea Indie Game Association, ‘Indiplus (https://cafe.naver.com/indiplus)’.
