Serious Games Showcase & Challenge Awards To Be Announced Today


Following my recent post Visit the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge Booth, the Serious Game Showcase & Challenge (SGS&C) will announce today its 2012 winners.

The 2012 finalists were reviewed by an esteemed panel of evaluators to determine the winners in the Business, Government, and Student categories.

Six of the 18 finalists are also competing for the Best Mobile Game Award, while six finalists are competing for the Adaptive Force Award (this year’s Special Emphasis Award). Adaptive Force games encourage the player to repeatedly try new or different strategies to solve problems while considering feedback with the purpose of improving overall success.

All of the games will compete for the coveted People’s Choice Award to be decided by attendee votes at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) 2012 held December 3-6.
