The Game Awards Warmup is a an annual online-based competition for all of those who cannot compete in the main competition and as a warmup for those also competing in the main competition. The warmup is a small-scale competition that lasts for a week. This year it starts on the 9th November.
Every year has a special theme that all games must adapt to. The theme and the rules are released at the beginning of the competition. The warmup competition is open to everybody (also non-students)! So cancel all meetings, gather a team and prepare yourselves for the competition!
There are two prizes in the warmup competition, one for the Warmup winner and one for the People's Choice winner. The first winner will be chosen by a jury of professionals and the latter by your fellow Game Awards community members.
The 2008 competition run of Swedish Game Awards was the first to have a proper warmup competition. The theme was "vikings in the future" and with only modest promotion 15 games were submitted, all with different takes on the future and on vikings. Games ranged from dance games to drink-beer-and-avoid stuff-action! Since then the competition has been a great success with many unique and amazing games.
This year Norwegian Game Awards and Swedish Game Awards will have a shared warm up competition. There will be participants from both Norway and Sweden, which will take the competition to a whole new level.
From the 26th of October till the 9th of November when the Warmup opens we will release small clues. These snippets of information are all connected to the theme of this years competition. So figure out what the theme is at www.GameAwardsWarmup.com before anyone else but don’t get it wrong. Get in the right game.
Prepare for a nerve-wrecking seven day Autumn crunch!
