Last but not least is the Grand Prix. Nothing about this award will be revealed until on the night of Thursday, April 19th. Our highest accolade, this prize rewards any UK-based brand or company which has enjoyed commercial and critical success, whilst also showing the highest level of support at trade level.
Previous winners have included Nintendo, Electronic Arts, Sony, Microsoft and Ubisoft. The winner of the award is decided exclusively by the team at MCV – but no one has yet complained about our final decision.
