A MAZE. / Berlin 2018__April 25 - 29, 2018
7th International Games and Playful Media Festival
WELCOME TO THE A MAZE. AWARD SYSTEM!
SUBMIT YOUR GAME / REGISTER FOR SELECTION COMMITTEE
Since 2012 A MAZE. awards The Most Amazing Game. The winner is selected by an interdisciplinary, international and 100% independent jury. 2014 A MAZE. extended the award to three categories and the audience award. 2015 we’ve introduced our fourth category the "Other Dimensions Award” which is dedicated to play in virtual reality. Last year, we've made some extensions and the categories are now: “Most Amazing Award”, “Human Human Machine Award”, “Long Feature Award”, “Digital Moment Award”, “Collider Award” and “Audience Award”.
Developers could register or use a previously used account to submit their game (for all award categories, submission-fee €35 – €55) between November 1st, 2017, and February 4th, 2018. Check the Conditions of Participation.
Judges could register or reactivate a previously used account to test games as part of the selection committee between November 1st, 2017, and February 18th, 2018. To reactivate an account, simply log in after November 1st, 2017. Reviewing 5 or more games will allow Judges to get a discount at the festival tickets.

The most amazing trophy consists out of three independent elements: a pink silicone cube, a metal ball and a concrete socket. Thorsten S. Wiedemann, the director of A MAZE. explains: "The pink silicon stands for interactivity and playfulness, the concrete socket for culture and meaning, and the embedded metal ball for connectivity and completeness."
