The EIGD was on the 24th and 25th of October in Montreuil, France, near to Paris. Here the website: http://www.eigd.org/.

Unfortunately I couldn’t assist to the EIGD meetings but I’m sure it was very interesting.

Here the category lists:

  • Originality Award – For the most original in terms of gameplay, the theme or narrative European game
  • The Innovation Award – For the most innovative gaming technology or use of technology.
  • The Price of Artistic Consistency – For the game which the graphic is more consistent, but also the most original!
  • And the Grand Prize will be selected from the winners of the previous categories.

Enigmbox was finalist of the EIGD awards, category Originality.

There was 5 different catogories: http://www.eigd.org/en/content/eigd-awards. You can find all finalists here: http://www.snjv.org/eigd-awards-finalistes,814.html

The awards ceremony was the 24th October near to the “Le café salé” in Montreuil.
