Announcing the judges for this year’s IGF Mobile awards
If you’ve been keeping tabs on the annual Independent Games Festival (IGF), we’re announcing something new for next year. The event organizers have just announced that they’re announcing the judges for the IGF Mobile awards, a first-of-its-kind event that will celebrate innovation in games for cellphones, and mobile devices such as the Sony PlayStation Portable, and the Nintendo DS. And just because it’s for handhelds doesn’t mean the organizers will be spending peanuts either – the event’s expected to award nearly US$ 20,000 in prizes. Here’s the award’s current panel:
- Mike Yuen, Senior Director, Gaming Group, Qualcomm
- David Gosen, CEO, I-play
- Arjan Olsder, Writer, Mobilegamesblog.com
- Darryl Williams, Senior Director of Content, Playphone
- Justin Davis, Editor-in-chief, Modojo
- Demetri G. Detsaridis, Creative Director, Massively Mobile
- Stuart Dredge, Writer, Pocket Gamer
- Neil Trevett, Vice President Mobile Content, NVIDIA
- Monty Munford, Business Development Director, Player X
- Steve Wetherill, President, Uztek Games
- Matthew Hawkins, Writer, zedgeHeadz
- Michael Chang, CEO, Greystripe
- John Walker, Writer, Rock Paper Shotgun
The submission deadline for all IGF Mobile entries will this October 26. Finalists for this event will be featured at their very own pavilion at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) during the month of February next year. The winners will then be announced during the GDC Mobile conference, and will be honored during the IGF Awards on Wednesday, February 20.
