MCV/DEVELOP WOMEN IN GAMES AWARDS 2023:
THE FINALISTS D
If you are reading this hot off the press, this year’s MCV/DEVELOP Women In Games Awards ceremony is just days away!
o you know what the best thing about working on MCV/DEVELOP is? Apart from it being a magazine where you
get to see your name in print, it’s the process of going through award nominations. Specifically, nominations that put forward individuals who are clearly deserving of wider recognition. Most of the nominations we receive – and this
STEVIE WARD IS THIS YEAR’S HOST
Holding everything together at this year’s awards will be Stevie Ward, a community developer at Future Publishing who was also part of the team that helped bring GamesMaster successfully back to our screens last year. Based in the north east, Stevie co-founded Women Making Games in 2019, has been an ambassador for Special Effect, and has long contributed to a number of industry causes, panels and events across the UK and beyond.
year for Women In Games they again numbered in the hundreds – are extensive and detailed, but all of them tell a story, They are often stories that don’t get told outside of a very select group of colleagues. These are individuals that have done an exceptional job, have achieved unexpected results, or bravely gone above and beyond to right a wrong or to help others. Selecting the best of them is difficult, occasionally even heart- wrenching, which is why we are relieved that we don’t get to choose the winners. We can pass that difficult task over to those more qualified - the winners of last year’s awards. While the spotlight will soon fall on this
year’s Women In Games Award winners, we just wanted to take a moment to honour every shortlisted nominee. It’s a wince-inducing cliche that will provide cold comfort to those who don’t leave the awards ceremony on March 1st with a new paperweight to adorn their desks, but every one of this year’s finalists is a winner. Thank you to all those unsung heroes that put the effort into nominating them, and of course for the many hundreds of nominations. It really is an honour and a privilege to receive them.
