CEDEC AWARDS

The first CEDEC AWARDS Ceremony was held in 2008 and it will be the 5th round this year. The objectives of the awards are to: put our focus on the technologies that greatly contributed to the advancement of the development of computer entertainment; confer awards to celebrate the achievements of the developers from the technological perspective; and thereby promote the diffusion and awareness of the development technologies and advancement of the industry. This year again, we formed the CEDEC AWARDS Nomination Committee consisting of those ranked at the top level in the questionnaire survey results of the CEDEC session audience of the previous year. The Committee, in collaboration with CEDEC Steering Committee, discussed and finalized the Nomination List (Nominees). CEDEC session audience this year has been asked to vote for the nominees, to decide the winners of the coveted awards.

* The awards are given to the technologies used in game titles, rather than the game titles themselves, and are intended to give praise to the work of the developers from the technological point of view.
