A MAZE. Awards 2017 - Our Nominees and Honorable Mentions.
It’s time again to reveal the most AMAZING list of games for the 2017 year. We’re excited, enthralled and amazed to share our selection for the A MAZE. Awards nominees for 2017 with you. We had over 200 entries from 30 countries, and selecting from such an excellent pool of works wasn’t easy:
“We had this year so many amazing submissions and to be honest, we had lots of discussion in the committee when making this A MAZE. selection. Now we are very happy and excited to see those 25 nominees competing in our 5 new categories. In order to express our devotion to the visions of the developers we’re going to have this year 12 honorable mentions out of competition, and giving them a spotlight in our festival exhibition. Thank you to all submitters and congratulation to all the nominees and honorable mentions of the A MAZE. Awards 2017. The team and I can’t wait having you in Berlin.” Thorsten S. Wiedemann, Festival Director
The process our 160 strong selection committee had each game being reviewed by the committee, before a smaller pool was reviewed by the A MAZE. / team and works were finally selected as nominees. It will be up to our 2017 judging panel to decide which games contest each category, and ultimately, which game wins the section.
Without further ado…
