Nominees
The Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) announces the 33rd
Annual Origins Awards Nominees. The nominated products are social games and
their accessories and expansions.
The Nominees are determined through a jury of experts
selecting the top ten entries from each category and presenting that list to
the retail store attendees at GAMA’s trade show held in the spring. Those
retailers pick their top five and those products are awarded the silver award
for the year.
This list will be presented to the attendees of the Origins
International Game Expo (Origins) in Columbus,
OH (July 5-8, 2007) for their
votes on the top products in each category. The winners will be announced at a
ceremony on Saturday night of the convention and will receive the gold award of
being named the product of the year in their category.
Please see http://www.originsgames.com/aagad
for more information on the awards and http://www.originsgames.com/
