Call for Submissions: A.MAZE 2016
A MAZE. / Berlin 2016
5th International Independent Videogames Festival from April 20 – 23, 2016.
The festival opens the submission for the A MAZE. Awards.
"For the past five years, A MAZE. has been nominating the best independent games from around the globe and if you are going to win the A MAZE. trophy that shows you did a damn good job creating a milestone in the videogames history.” - Thorsten S. Wiedemann, artistic director of A MAZE.
Since 2012 A MAZE. awards The Most Amazing Game. The winner is selected by an interdisciplinary, international and 100% independent jury.
In 2014 A MAZE. extended the award to three categories and the audience award. In 2015 we’ve introduced our fourth category the "Other Dimensions Award” which is dedicated to play in virtual reality. The trophy consists of three independent elements: a pink silicone cube, a metal ball and a concrete socket. Thorsten S. Wiedemann, the artistic 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."
The categories are: “Most Amazing Game Award”, “Human Human Machine Award”, “WTF?! Award”, “Other Dimensions Award (VR)” and the “Audience Award”.
