Animated Games Award Germany

Having always been interested in the links between animation and other media, the Stuttgart Festival of Animated (ITFS) has been dedicating a separate platform to the computer games since 2013: the GameZone. Since 2017 the ITFS in cooperation with the MFG Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg and the Stuttgart Media University (HdM) presents the Animated Games Award Germany. In 2017 the award was given to “On Rusty Trails“ (developer: Tobias Bilgeri, publisher: Black Pants Game Studio). In 2018 the Animated Games Award Germany goes into the second round. Introduced in 2016 as an regional award, now for the second time the prize is awarded to the German computer game which stands out from competition by its special visual design and aesthetics. The jurypays particular attention to artwork, imagery, and character design. The award’s objective is to strengthen the interlinking of games and animated film as regards content, as well as promote the artistic quality of games.Hosted by: Andreas Gabe (ZDF)The award is donated by the Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg and comes with prize money of 5,000 Euro.
