We are still absolutely thrilled about having the honor of acknowledging all the incredible work from developers and journalists in 2021,” said Harold Goldberg, president and founder, NYVGCC. “In addition to the list of nominees, we’re still hopeful that many will buy tickets to support our ongoing mission to provide awareness and mentorship for the video game industry, especially among underserved communities.”

NYVGCC will contact ticket holders about refunds for the previously planned in-person show.
