CEDEC AWARDS

The "CEDEC AWARDS" were organized for the first time in 2008 and gained high acclaim from the participants. The ceremony is designed to popularize and increase public awareness about game development technologies and to contribute to its their development by awarding game developers. For the 3rd "CEDEC AWARDS" scheduled this year, we organized the CEDEC AWARDS Nomination Committee, which is made up of authorities in various fields, in order to modernize and improve the quality of the nominations list. We were thus able to more effectively and accurately compile a list of final candidates based on the recommendations by the committee members. The award recipients will be selected from among the candidates on the list through voting by the CEDEC session participants.

* The awards are intended for technologies used in game titles rather than the game titles themselves.
