Break out the bow-ties and practise your surprised face, because it's almost time for the 2022 GameMaker Awards!

Every year, we celebrate the incredible work of the GameMaker community by inviting them to submit their game for one of our three GameMaker Award categories:

• Best Game 2022
• Most Anticipated Game 2022

And new this year,

• Best of GX.games 2022

Submissions are now open and run from May 10th through to May 24th. 

Our judging panel will decide on a final five for each category before giving our community the chance to crown our three winners in a public vote.

Each of the 15 finalists will receive: 

• A finalist's logo
• A 12-Month GameMaker Enterprise Licence. 

The overall winners will also receive:

• A winners logo
• Promotion on our social media pages and website
• A coveted GameMaker Awards trophy.

Could your game follow in the footsteps of Forager and Colt Canyon and take home Best Game? There's only one way to find out.
