— With a breaking record number of 626 submissions, BIG Festival
2023, has published the list of finalists selected for the 11th
edition of the BIG Awards event. The Festival Committee selected
110 games from 28 countries for 18 different categories.
This year, Brazil takes the center stage in the selection
process with 26 games nominated across 12 different categories,
including Best International Game, the most prestigious event's
award, for Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles and Dungeon Drafters. Some
games were highlighted in the jury's evaluation and received
multiple nominations.
“We are very happy to continue breaking records at each edition
of the BIG Festival. This year 626 games from over 50 different
countries were submitted. And this is a reflection of the
success of BIG as well as the industry as a whole. It is a
demonstration of how the game development sector has been
getting stronger every year”, said Gustavo Steinberg, director
of the BIG Festival. Seeing so many national games being chosen
as finalists in several categories, including Best International
Game, is very rewarding. This only reinforces the competence of
all professionals in the country and recognizes Brazil as a
creator of games”, adds the festival director.
In addition to the exposure and prestige of the games in the
festival, the winners of the Best Game, Best Game: Latin America
and Best Game: Brazil categories will receive, in addition to
the trophy, cash prizes of R$5,000 (around US$1,000).
The public will also be able to participate by voting for the
Best Popular Game, where the winner will be receiving R$3,000.
To vote, the public must test the game at the festival and, at
the end of the game, will be able to vote for that title.
