THE WINNERS OF THE 2022 MCV/DEVELOP WOMEN IN GAMES AWARDS
O n the
evening of March 4th
the eighth annual MCV/DEVELOP Women In Games Awards were held, celebrating the female talent in the UK games industry. Hosted by arts and entertainment presenter Elle Osili-Wood (a past winner, as well as a veteran of the 2020 ceremony), the evening saw sponsors, supporters, finalists and their guests descend on Waterloo’s 26 Leake Street venue (previously visited for last year’s IRL Awards), in the hope of finding out who would be going home with one of 13 coveted trophies.
While we await the photos documenting the anguish and the ecstasy that separated winners from losers (they were all winners, of course), we figured it only right to provide a lasting record of all those shortlisted for an award this year.
Our thanks go to those listed, the
hundreds that nominated them, and our panel of industry judges that took the time to pore over the testimonials to eventually decide the winners. Congratulations one and all!
