New categories, and Nordic Game Indie Sensation 2016 gets its own show
Compared to NGA15, this year’s show sees some significant changes. In addition to new categories and the renaming of existing ones, the biggest change is that the Nordic Game Indie Sensation Award this year gets it’s very own award show on Friday 20 May, as part of the new Indie Day at NG16.

The purpose of this award is to recognise new talent from the Nordic region. The nominated games in this category will be chosen through an application process led by Copenhagen Game Collective, curators of Nordic Game Indie Day. Eight games will be nominated, and they can be play-tested and voted for by the public during NG16 on 19 May and at the NG16 Indie Showcase on 20 May.

About the Nordic Game Awards
The Nordic Game Awards is organised by the Nordic Game Institute in cooperation with Nordic Game Resources and the Nordic Game conference.

The Nordic Game Institute consists of the following game producer associations in the region: Dataspelsbranschen (SE), Icelandic Gaming Industry (IS), Neogames (FI), Spillprodusentforeningen (NO) and Producentforeningen (DK).

The organisers appoint the NGA jury, this year with the following members: Bjarki Thor Jónsson (Iceland), Juho Kuorikoski (Finland), Rune Fjell Olsen (Norway), Kajsa Lundquist (Sweden) and Søren Staal Balslev (Denmark).
