Games Media Awards finalists revealed

Over 300 of you made in excess of 2,000 nominations – and the result is a fascinating list of finalists in this year’s Games Media Awards.

The next level of judging will now be done by a panel drawn from the full gamut of the video games media itself, plus selected industry PR execs.

The winners will be revealed and acclaimed at the new home of the GMAs, the Bloomsbury Ballroom, on Thursday, October 14th.

The night will also see the crowning of a new Games Media Legend, following on from last year’s chosen one, Pat Garratt.

A limited number of Trade Tickets are available for 50 – contact Kathryn.Humphrey@intentmedia.co.uk for details, or download, fill in and return this booking form.
