BAFTA Young Game Designers Awards 2022: The 54 finalists for the accolade revealed
BAFTA recently revealed the crop of 54 finalists for this year's Young Game Designers Awards. There are four categories of finalists divided between age and the category of concept and making. The winners of the 2022 award will be presented in the last week of June.
The initiative is a curated experience that provides them with a world of creative opportunities for young people who wish to develop games. BAFTA's venture seeks to support the creators on their journey of making games.
The four categories for the Young Game Designers Awards are -
The Concept Award will be given "to the most original and best thought-out game idea" while the Game Making Award will mark "the coding skills used to create a prototype game using freely available software."
According to BAFTA's statement, finalists will be judged on the designs of the gameplay and how suitable the title is for their chosen games platform.
The winners for each category will be announced later this month on June 30 at 17.00 BST. Readers can check out the names of the finalists and their games across each category on the official website here.
