Registration of applications for participation in Unity Awards 2014 is open

The gaming industry lacks its own Oscars. Of course, there is BAFTA, there is IAA, but, firstly, they usually cover only the "big" industry, and secondly, they rather have a b2c orientation.

It's too early to compare the annual Unity Awards with the Oscars, but at the moment it occupies a niche of famous events, where not only box-office console titles, but also mobile and social projects can become winners. 

What's all this about?

Unity announced today that registration has begun for the 2014 Unity Awards competition program, which will be held on August 21 in Seattle as part of the Unite 2014 conference.

As Natalia Sviridova, Marketing Director of Unity Technologies in Russia, told us: "Unity Awards 2104 is a great event and a great opportunity for developers to present themselves and their projects to the widest international audience, to establish contacts in promising markets around the world."

There are eight categories this year. Among them are such as Best Student Project, Best 2D Visual Experience and Community Choice. You can apply only to those teams whose project has officially been released /will be released within the time period July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014. 

You can leave a request here.

What do you think, will you participate?
