Promoting Video Games Entries to the Public

08 August 08

This year, BAFTA has extended its deadlines to ensure that as many releases as possible are eligible for the Awards. While the games will be judged by industry experts and not the gaming public, part of our charitable remit is to promote and champion games as an art form and that means showcasing the games being considered for BAFTA consideration to as wide an audience as possible.

To this end, we are encouraging developers/publishers to support individual entries with some background footage into the making of the game ("the Film") which we will put on the BAFTA website and which we also aim to promote on consumer gaming websites to raise awareness of all the titles being considered for this year’s Awards. This is a hugely significant step for us and will enable us to deliver our charitable remit of promoting excellence to a much larger audience.

Details of how to support your entries in this way can be found in the Entry Form .
