The full list of nominees for the SXSW Sydney 2024 Games & Screen Awards has been revealed, with a range of Australian and internationally-made video games recognised for their innovation and creativity. This year, there will be six award categories total, with each focussed on a different aspect of play. The three critic awards are: Best International Game, Discovery Award, and Game of the Year.
Each nominee in this category has been selected by a panel of judges (including the team), with titles selected from a robust lineup. The core focus of these awards is on standout achievements, remarkable experiences, and outstanding artistry and design. In addition to these awards, there will be a People’s Choice Award determined by public voting of games included in the SXSW Sydney 2024 Games Showcase, a Tabletop Award for a non-digital game that “excels in thoughtful design and offers a compelling solo or social experience”, and a Best Student Game Award given to an innovative, exciting game featured in the student showcase.
Here’s the full list of nominees from the critic judging round. The winners of these awards, and the three additional awards, will be announced live at Fortress Sydney on at 7:00pm AEDT. We congratulate all the shortlisted nominees, and look forward to seeing the eventual winners crowned later in October.
