Games Media Awards unveiled
First details emerge of wide-ranging event for key sector
Free entry for press
Perfect Q4 curtain-raiser
A major new event recognising the contribution that print, online and broadcast media makes to the wider games market is being launched by Intent Media this autumn.
The Games Media Awards 2007 will take place at the Soho Revue Bar, Brewer Street, London on Thursday October 11th - putting the opinion formers all under one roof for the night whilst they battle it out for a dozen much coveted prizes.
Importantly, all media will be invited free to the event, as guests of a limited number of key sponsors.
Over 250 people will attend during the evening, with categories set to include everything from specialist and non-specialist websites to print publications, online and broadcast TV shows, podcasts, national newspapers, consumer press, design, reviews and promotions.
"Diversity of coverage is key to the games industry's connection with consumers, but many within the wider media do not feel appreciated. Some have told us they don't think they have a genuine enough relationship with the companies and products that they are writing about," commented Intent Media boss Stuart Dinsey.
"The Games Media Awards will look to change that. They will build stronger ties between the games industry and media at all levels."
The GMAs will be voted by the industry itself. More information on will follow in MCV print and online shortly.
