Members of the public can visit the CVA site between now and the show, and vote for their favourite Canadian Game of the Year. Co-founder of the award show Victor Lucas said, "Last year's event was a big success and people had a wonderful time, but more importantly, incredible Canadian-made video games and their creators were honored." "So many video games developed in our country over the last year were phenomenal; I think we're going to see a lot of great surprises this year!
