The editors of Game Developer magazine have announced that
nominations for the historic 11th Annual Front Line Awards are now open, continuing the magazine's tradition of honoring excellence and innovation in tools for game development.
The Front Line Awards are highly regarded in the industry as the most important awards to honor the year's best development hardware and software for programming, art, audio, hardware, books, game engines, and game components.
Nominations from the game development community are accepted during a fixed period of time. While a great many considerations go into determining a winner, innovation is the real name of the game. Products are nominated in all categories by the readers of Game Developer magazine and Gamasutra. Once all nominations are in, the editors of Game Developer and Gamasutra will select finalists and the readers of Game Developer will ultimately determine the winners in each category.
Nominations are open from September 10th, 2008, through October 3rd, 2008, to all new products and new versions of products related to game development released between September 1, 2007, and August 31, 2008 (betas are not eligible). Front Line Award finalists will be announced in the December 2008 issue and winners will be announced in the January 2009 issue of Game Developer.
To go nominate a piece of hardware, book, or game engine - whether a satisfied user or a creator of that product - please visit the 11th Annual Front Line Awards website and
fill in the supplied form.
