Winner selection process


Votes for games are by made by International Choice Awards Network (ICAN), a group of leading game creators.[3] Votes are then additionally made by editors of Gamasutra. Upgrades, expansions, and mission packs are not eligible to be nominated.[4]


The top voted games are then voted on by final voting body, made up of ICANs, and editors of Gamasutra.[5] In this final stage of voting, games with the highest votes in a category are the winners.[6]


Winners for Special Awards (Lifetime Achievement, Pioneer, Ambassador) are decided by a "Special Awards Jury", which appears to consist of a variety of 5 people.[7] This group may consider recommendations from ICAN members.[8]


GDC related properties are owned by the UBM technology group.



Historical process


In 2007, gamasutra.com took over management of the awards from the IGDA.[9]
An advisory board selected by the editors of gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine oversees the selection process.


In the past, nominations are accepted from registered gamasutra.com users, confirmed to be game developers, and from the advisory board.
Once the nomination process is complete, the advisory board identifies five finalists for each regular category.


The recipients of the Lifetime Achievement, Pioneer (formerly known as First Penguin) and Maverick awards are selected by the advisory board.
For the other awards, a vote open to all those who participated in the nomination process chooses a recipient from each category's finalists.[10]



List of winners


Note: Events held for awards are held early in the following year. Winners are listed first and highlighted in bold.
