INDIES
From solo devs to established studios, we have prizes designed so everyone can win. We have thought long and hard to make sure that even first time developers are in with a chance.
NEW AND
UPCOMING GAMES
We are looking not just for the best new indies that have been released, but also the best upcoming indies. If your game is in development right now, it is eligible.
INTERNATIONAL TEAMS
From Canada to Brazil, from India to Indonesia, all teams and countries are welcome to join. Last year, teams from more than 50 countries took part, and we want to continue seeing the GWB Awards grow worldwide.

Why you should take part
+
ONLINE
You are busy making games and don't have time for ANOTHER event. In the GWB Game Awards, you just sign up online, submit your game and we do the rest.
FREE
There is ZERO cost to take part, and our prizes have no catches. You do not need to fly anywhere to attend. Our prize money is no-strings attached. This is important to us, as we want every team from every country to be able to take part.
EVENTS
Last year we ran our first Steam event and this year we want to continue including amazing teams in amazing GWB events to we run or take part in. All participating teams are eligible, even if they don't end up winning a prize.
REACH
We can reach audience that many awards programs cannot. Last year, GWB channels and social content had more than 800 million impressions worldwide, making us the biggest competition of this type in China.
WINDOW
After taking part in the GWB Game Awards, many Chinese and international teams have found partners to help them deliver their game to players, and find global success. We can help you get noticed.
